Mozart Day III.

Sunday 3 March 2024 Liszt Academy | Artistic director: András Keller | Host: András Batta

Mozart’s melodies will fill the concert halls of the Liszt Academy all day on Sunday, 3 March. It is the seventh time that Concerto Budapest and its guest artists have evoked the spirit of the ever-relevant master by playing his masterpieces. 

Mozart: "Haffner" Serenade in D major, K. 250 

Concerto Budapest
Concertmaster: Arvid Engegård

Year after year since 2018, Concerto Budapest has dedicated a day-long series of concerts to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the eternal favourite of classical music, or rather to our shared and unquenchable passion for the composer. And so it is on the first Sunday in March 2024. Wind quartets, clarinet concertos, horn concertos, overtures, symphonies, and a variety of genres will represent Mozart' s art in four consecutive concerts, with the participation of top artists such as horn player Stefan Dohr, clarinet player Wenzel Fuchs, pianist Gergely Bogányi, violinist-conductor Arvid Engegård and the Keller Quartet. “This day will stay with me for the rest of my life as a bright, clear and beautiful memory. The magic of Mozart’s music still rings in my ears, as if from a distance.” This is what Franz Schubert wrote two hundred years ago about a day spent listening to the music of his great and much admired predecessor, and there is a good chance we will all remember this Mozartian Sunday in the same way.
