Anthony Strong, Margaret Island Open Air Theatre Budapest, 19 June
- 18 Jun 2025 5:50 PM
With his sharply tailored suit and easy charm, singer-pianist Anthony Strong seems to happily fill the role of ‘The English Gentleman’ often thrust upon him.
Bringing together timeless repertoire and a serious jazz sensibility, British singer-pianist Anthony Strong presents his dynamic live show for the first time in Hungary which has entertained audiences around the world.
With more than a decade of gigging under his belt - from the Hollywood Bowl in the West, to festivals across Asia in the East - his music is characterised by a mix of music by iconic songwriters spanning jazz, blues, soul and even pop.
One thing is sure: underneath the crowd-winning stage show, there is a seriously talented musician. The arrangements and orchestrations were written by Strong himself.
There are original compositions showing an appreciation of the jazz classics. His piano playing belies a deep knowledge of the swinging greats – Wynton Kelly, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans – and his swaggering vocals have further matured during the course of more than 250 international performances.
Expect a collection of hard-swinging classics, sumptuous ballads and blues-infused originals.
