This is the first concert of Hungarian Quartet recently established by world-famous violinist András Keller, founder of Keller String Quartet and music director of Concerto Budapest. Other artists of the ‘super-quartet’ are János Pilz, founding member of Keller Quartet, principal instrumentalist of Budapest Festival Orchestra and concertmaster of Budapest Strings, László Fenyő, winner of several international competitions and professor at the Karlsruhe Music Academy, and Gábor Homoki, violist and member of the former Kelemen Quartet. Integrating the knowledge and talent of the three Hungarian musician generations, the new ensemble aim to continue the work (interrupted in 1972) of the legendary Hungarian String Quartet founded by Sándor Végh in 1935 and later on led by Zoltán Székely. “We would like to renew the tradition of very personal music playing represented by our predecessors and free of externalities. Jenő Hubay, Ede Zathureczky, Dénes Kovács – masters of the craft of Hungarian violin playing – spoke Hungarian on their instruments yet the message of their art became universal. We would like to return to this form of music playing that is gradually dying out,” said András Keller.
