3 day Classical Concert Series in Kölcsey Center

Who would have thought that Grieg, Tchaikovsky and Brahms lived at the same time? How did these musical giants interact? Although they created music in different styles, their encounters left a lasting impression. The first two concerts of the Russian Music Festival explore these questions. On the 20th of  October at 7:00 p.m. - "When Grieg's wife sang for Tchaikovsky" - Lilla Horti (soprano) will sing the "role" of Nina with Gergely Kovács playing the piano. The story goes that in 1888, Brahms, Grieg and Tchaikovsky met at a special dinner. Grieg quickly became a fan of Tchaikovsky and tried to meet him as often as possible during his stay in Leipzig.

The concert on the 21st of  October is entitled 'When Tchaikovsky heard Brahms rehearsing'. Contributors: Ádám Balogh (piano), Gergely Devich (cello), Csongor Korossy-Khayll (violin). The story goes that on New Year's Day 1888, when Tchaikovsky visited Adolph Brodsky, who was the soloist at the premiere of his violin concerto, Brahms' Trio in C minor emerged […]
