Spanish conductor Jaime Martín, whose “infectious enjoyment of the music,” according to The Telegraph, “communicates to the orchestra and audience alike,” will return to helm the BFO through Saint-Saëns’s most popular violin concerto and what Tchaikovsky considered to be his own finest symphonic work.
This concert merits an earworm alert, as both composers are famous for their catchy ...
Mozart: Don Giovanni, National Concert Hall Budapest, 9 September
- 9 Sep 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
“You’ll never truly know me,” says the world-famous seducer, and indeed: Don Giovanni’s character has remained unfathomable and endlessly captivating for centuries. Should we sympathise with him? Or condemn him?
Perhaps both? He is a complex and fascinating figure, who, with Lorenzo Da Ponte’s libretto and Mozart’s music, presents an eternal and rewarding challenge for directors. This is not ...

Jazz, opera, Broadway musicals: Morgan James is at home in all three. Her amazing voice, enthralling personality and striking on-stage presence were enough to convince Scott Bradlee to invite her to appear in Postmodern Jukebox videos and tour with the band from 2014.
She dedicated her first album, recorded in New York’s Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, to Nina Simone. In 2016, she covered the entire ...

Stars Recitals with Piano: Georg Zeppenfeld, Eiffel Art Studios Budapest, 12 May
- 12 May 2025 7:00 PM
- classical
German bass Georg Zeppenfeld originally trained as a music and German teacher, and only then began his singing studies.
According to his own admission, it was not easy for him or his voice teacher, because the Westphalian dialect is not necessarily suitable for opera singing. However, their joint work proved successful, and Zeppenfeld now performs the most important roles.
Beside German ...

A Czech conductor, three Czech composers and a Czech violinist: in short, a Czech concert. The programme opens with a suite from Janáček’s most unique opera, The Cunning Little Vixen, followed by (Dvořák’s son-in-law) Josef Suk’s Fantasy, which could be considered a kind of violin concerto.
Playing the solo part will be Jan Mráček, whose pinpoint intonation, phenomenal musicality and ...
