As incredible as it may sound, the multifaceted Afropop star Angélique Kidjo, one of the pivotal African performing artists of the past more than thirty years, is still yet to make an appearance in Hungary.

Until now, that is, as we are fortunate that her tour celebrating a career of over forty years will take her to Müpa Budapest, where the five-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter will review the significant stages of her career, from her greatest hits to her latest solo album.

Important elements include her work as a human rights activist, as well as the songs she recorded together with like-minded pop stars Peter Gabriel, Sting and Bono.

The evening opens with a concert overture-like piece by Erkki-Sven Tüür. The tension of the modern sounding style will be relieved by Robert Schumann's lively, springtime music, through which the composer found a path to writing symphonies post Beethoven.

The concert will close with Jean Sibelius's most popular symphony.

Place: National Concert Hall Budapest

Address: 1095 Budapest, Komor Marcell utca 1.
