The programme of the Bartok Spring International Arts Weeks has been finalised, and will feature the Arooj Aftab's jazz trio and a performance of De Sheherezade by Maria Pages among others, organisers said.
The 5th Bartok Spring festival will run between April 4 and May 18 in Budapest, Miskolc, Pecs and Gyor, Csaba Kael, the director of the organiser Palace of Arts (MUPA) told a press conference.
Last October, organisers announced that the festival will feature operatic superstars Diana Damrau and Jonas Kaufmann, the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra and the Basel Kammerorkester with violinists Barnabas Kelemen and Julia Pusker, respectively, as well as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
Star saxophonist Jan Garbarek will perform in Budapest on April 7, in Gyor on April 24 and Pecs on May 18, Janina Szomolanyi, the festival's operative director, said. Wynton Marsalis will also perform, organisers said.
The folk dance group of the Corvinus University, the Forte theater group and students of the University of Film and Theater Arts will stage an interdisciplinary performance focusing on Bartok's Microcosmos. Hungarian singer Magdi Ruzsa and pianist Janos Balazs will perform at MUPA on April 12, she said.
Other programmes will include film screenings, theatre performances and exhibitions.
Budapest Ritmo, "one of the most important events for world music in the region", will be held on the sidelines of Bartok Spring between April 10 and 12, Szomolanyi said.
