Named after the founder and former leader of the Hungarian State Choir, the predecessor of the National Choir, the Pászti season ticket unsurprisingly offers a rich bounty of vocal music: early music and contemporary pieces, as well as a cappella works and oratorical masterpieces, all courtesy of composers from both Hungary and elsewhere.

Viaggio Italiano– an Italian journey. The second concert of the Hungarian National Choir’s Pászti subscription series promises plenty of exciting discoveries. Conducted by Csaba Somos and with Dóra Bizják on piano, the program features works by 20th-century Italian composers like Bruno Bettinelli and Pietro Clausetti, alongside pieces by contemporary American, English and Dutch composers such as Morten Lauridsen, Jonathan Dove and Willem Jeths, whose works connect to sun-kissed Italy through their language or themes. The evening concludes with a recent Hungarian piece by Tamás Beischer-Matyó, broadening the concert’s intellectual horizon yet further.
Italy is not only a perennial dream destination for tourists: musicians have also always enjoyed visiting the cities of the boot of Europe, both to soak up knowledge like the young Schütz and Händel, and also when seeking inspiration, like Brahms and Tchaikovsky. It is no surprise, therefore, that the second evening of the Hungarian National Choir’s Pászti season ticket is a thematic concert that invites us to travel Italy through its title of Viaggio Italiano. The programme is diverse: some of the composers were born on Mediterranean soil, and we will also hear works from those that were not conceived by an Italian but are in the Italian language, while there will also be some pieces whose themes recall the sunlit south. In addition, the concert will also offer up a wealth of exciting novelties as conductor Csaba Somos, with the piano accompaniment of Dóra Bizják, introduces us to works by such lesser-known composers as the ItaliansBruno Bettinelli (1910–2004) and Pietro Clausetti (1904–1963), the American Morten Lauridsen (1943–), the Englishman Jonathan Dove (1959–), and Willem Jeths (1959–) from the Netherlands. The programme will even be enriched by a piece of contemporary Hungarian music by Tamás Beischer-Matyó (1972–).
