The conductor has had to get his orchestra, the Concerto Budapest Symphony, through punishing times. It’s ust one of the unexpected twists in his life. - by Michael Dervan Irish Times

- Review by Irwin Hewitt Telegraph - By what miracle did a superb Hungarian orchestra appear last night in a regional concert hall, with a top-rank solo pianist? As an economic proposition the concert was very risky, as the venue was modestly sized and in any case the orchestra does not have the lustrous name that can bring in huge crowds.

In Keller’s Hungarian-accented reflections, and in his conducting of Concerto Budapest, their philosophy lives on. “We have a very strong identity together as an orchestra. Each sound has meaning. This is what I fight for every day. And it’s normal that I must push the musicians, because each of them would like to be better from one day to the next. And in pushing for more, we are searching for our own sound, and our own understanding. It’s important not to stay on the surface of the music, because when you imitate something, it’s not yours.” - By Peter Quantrill via bachtrack.com

Boasting a rich history that spans over a century, today it is recognised for being one of the most progressive and versatile symphonic orchestras whose playing is characterised by the passion, energy, and the commitment of its musicians which they bring to every performance.
