Jointly presented by the Budapest Liszt Academy and the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, this concert features musicians who have completed their DLA studies, along with performers and creators who are also active as educators. The clarinet plays an important part in each of the works performed, as do the clarinet players, Péter Szűcs and Kyrill Rybakov. Each composition prompts important questions that are more difficult to answer in the framework of conventional concert practices and genre traditions, and some of them, like Samu Gryllus’s piece, also embrace the sister arts (film, theatre).

An event jointly organized with Budapest Music Center.
