BIRDSONGS FOR ORCHESTRA / 3:30 PM

Since the beginning of time, birdsong has been a source of inspiration for all musicians. In our youth concert, we first hear the cello duet of József Sándor Nagy and Illés Sütő in Vivaldi's deep, moving and beautiful Concerto for two cellos in G minor. The two young players are students of Krisztina Dávid, the cellist of our orchestra. Afterwards, the audience will hear a special suite by the neoclassical Italian composer Ottorino Respighi, written in 1928 following the tradition of the works of 18th century composers. The brilliant work, which features the sounds of swans, hens, nightingales and cuckoos, is performed by Szabolcs Medveczky and proves to be intriguing not only for ornithologists but for every music enthusiasts.
