Ferencsik season ticket/4. The Dreams of Childhood

The guest appearance of the world-famous American maestro Lawrence Foster, who represents the senior age group of the international community of composers, promises to be among the outstanding events of the season. The musician with Romanian parents has conducted the Hungarian National Philharmonic on several occasions and each visit has attracted an enthusiastic response.

What could be a more beautiful sounding gift one week before Christmas than a three-part oratorio that is unknown in Hungary and recalls a less well documented part of Jesus’s life, the Redeemer’s childhood?

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.
