Ten years after the last similar marathon and on occasion of the 340th anniversary of the composer’s birth, Müpa Budapest is once again hosting a 24-hour “Bach shift” from 9 pm on 2 May to 9 pm on 3 May, during the course of which all of Johann Sebastian’s organ works will be performed by musicians young and old, and from Hungary and abroad, on the world-famous instrument in the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall.
In the time slot extending from 11 pm until 9.30 am, László Fassang, Tamás Kubík, Mária Palkovics, Rajmund Kun, Alan Zsilka, Dávid Vizi and Eszter Szedmák will perform back to back. The audience for the night programmes will be able to take their places on the beanbags laid out on the stage, and they are also free to come and go throughout the concerts. The visual imaginations of those listening will be sparked by the light painting of Zsolt Czakó.
