A true sensation: the Vienna Philharmonic, one of the finest orchestras in the world, is coming to Müpa Budapest to perform under the baton of one of the most exciting composers of our time, Britain’s Thomas Adès! The programme they will be playing is no average one either, as it features both Haydn’s ‘Tempora mutantur’ Symphony No. 64 in A major and Janáček’s rarely heard rhapsody Taras Bulba, along with three contemporary works: Adès’s own The Exterminating Angel Symphony, followed by a musical tribute György Kurtág wrote to Pierre Boulez ten years ago, as well as a composition by Boulez himself – a reminder that we will soon be celebrating the centenary of the great French composer’s birth in 2025.
Conductor: Thomas Adès
Featuring: Vienna Philharmonic
Presented by: Müpa Budapest
