Memorial concert in London
The Pannon Philharmonic is giving a concert in London on 23 October, 2015. The ensemble is performing in memory of the revolution and war of independence in 1956 at the Armel Opera Festival‘s concert in the 950-seat Cadogan Hall in London.
The orchestra is taking Hungarian compositions to the concert. Apart from the Concerto by Béla Bartók and The Piano Concerto No.1 in E-flat major by Ferenc Liszt, the orchestra is performing Beethoven’s Egmont Overture which became an emblem, one might say symbol, of the revolution in 1956 due to the fact that it was continuously broadcast on the radio between 23 October and 4 November, 1956. As Péter Balassa stated: ‘in those days it became part of the revolutionary context of a small European country so it turned into a new composition.’
The Pannon Philharmonic is conducted by Tibor Bogányi, chief conductor, while the solo performance of Liszt’s Piano Concerto is given by his brother, Gergely Bogányi. The two Bogányi brothers frequently perform together in both the Hungarian and the international music scene.
The director of the production is Armel Opera Festival.
