Members of the Kelemen Quartet, who are all exceptional soloists in their own right, will lead the concert, where cooperation and exchange will be the common denominator. We will be guided through music that gives the impression that something more is hidden behind the abstract play of tones...

We will start with a light wreath of dances by the Hungarian composer Leo Weiner and end in the exuberant Romanian dance rhythms of George Enescu, and the heart of the concert will be music full of poignant allusions. While Max Bruch poured the idea of ​​purity and simplicity of the spiritual into his composition on the chant of a Jewish prayer Kol Nidrei, the entire oeuvre of the Munich composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann reflects a deeply humanistic attitude. During the Nazi era, his music was banned, as he used it to draw attention to the atrocities of Hitler's system early on. Its demanding Concerto for clarinet, string quartet and string orchestra, created between 1930 and 1935, is as if written on the skin of our performers and deserves the central place in this evening not only because of its virtuoso design, but also because Hartmann glorified in this work as well as in his work and life in general the idea of ​​humanity and interpersonal ties that should always be maintained.

Nostalgia can be heard in the work Pannonia Boundless by the Serbian-American composer Aleksandra Vrebalov. In the turbulent nineties, Aleksandra Vrebalov left her native Novi Sad and established herself in the United States. Due to his complicated life path, he understands well that a person cannot succeed as an isolated being, and believes that even a work of art can only be created as a result of collaborations. She created this work, colored by Pannonian folklore, in collaboration with the renowned Kronos Quartet, which has a special ear for innovation.
