kamara.hu /4 Presented by Liszt Academy

kamara.hu’s busiest and certainly most diverse (genre-wise) day concludes with the concert in the Grand Hall. One of the principal intentions of artistic directors Izabella Simon and Dénes Várjon is clearly apparent in the programme; that is, to perform many different kinds of classical music in the company of modern works, thus engendering an entity that although full of contrasts embraces not only each concert but the festival as a whole. In this programme, it is worth paying particular attention to the name of Paul Klee featuring in the Veress work. Klee, just like Hesse, the thread that runs throughout the series, was a Swiss artist rated a most promising talent not only as a painter but violinist, too. His pictures are screened during the performance of the Veress piece. The Schumann creation is on the programme for a good reason: in opposition to ‘musical philistines’, the composer established his imaginary society, the so-called League of David, the requirements of which – purity and perfection – are echoed in the elite of The Glass Bead Game.
