Join these first-class musicians led by the ‘powerful and dynamic’ (BBC Music Magazine) violinist Vilde Frang, celebrating music from Béla Bartók alongside various folk songs and dances. Her fellow performers include Benjamin and Salamon Eredics from award-winning Hungarian folk band Söndorgő – described by Songlines Magazine as ‘one of Europe’s most versatile and exciting bands’.

Béla Bartók wrote his tumultuous First Violin Sonata for Hungarian violinist Jelly d’Arányi. It was rapturously received at its 1922 London premiere – with the composer at the keyboard. The soulful slow movement is especially beautiful, while the dance-infused finale is thrillingly virtuosic.

Also on the programme is an exciting array of folk music hailing from Hungary, Bulgaria and the Balkans, from inventive arrangements by Bartók to dynamic contemporary compositions that offer a perfect blend of innovation and tradition.
