BFO - Budapest Festival Orchestra

 

Having just returned from a successful tour in Geneva and Neumarkt, we’re getting ready to give a wonderful program a second chance. We were supposed to play Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 and Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2 with South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son last spring, and we wanted that concert not to be lost but only delayed. So, we’re bringing it to you now.

Both works represented new chances for their composers as well. The former helped Rachmaninoff give up alcohol and break free from his depression caused by a failed premiere, while the latter brought Sibelius wide acclaim throughout Europe, something no other Nordic composer had achieved before. We’re hoping you’ll also give us one to bring this endlessly romantic program to you.

Join us in person on October 7-8-9 at Müpa Budapest: https://bit.ly/bfo_rachmaninoff-sibelius_tickets

Tune in from wherever you are in the world on October 8 at 19:45 CEST on IDAGIO: https://idag.io/BFO_Rachmaninoff_Sibelius (The stream will also remain available until October 15.)
