Concerto Budapest’s music director and principal conductor is Kossuth Prize winner András Keller. Fifteen years ago, the founder of the world-renowned Keller Quartet took over the orchestra, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of its foundation in 2007. Under András Keller’s leadership, the orchestra carries on the noblest traditions of Hungarian chamber music, with a continuity and musical spirit that stretches from Béla Bartók and Leo Weiner to Sándor Végh and Ferenc Rados and György Kurtág.
In parallel with Concerto Budapest’s international expansion, two of the most prominent musicians and conductors of our time will join the orchestra this season: composer Péter Eötvös as first guest conductor and pianist and conductor Mihail Pletnyov.
In addition, the orchestra has invited distinguished guest artists such as Oksana Lyniv, Juliane Banse, Nikolai Lugansky, Jonathan Biss and Lucas Debargue.
In addition to the foreign performers, the audience will be able to see and hear outstanding Hungarian artists such as Dezső Ránki, Gábor Bretz, Miklós Perényi, the Muzsikás Ensemble, the young discoverers of the Virtuózok classical music talent show and Kristóf Baráti, who will not only perform with the orchestra but also conduct it for the first time.
