violinAbout
Inspired by her 2016 debut album “Magia”, Hungarian-born New York jazz vocalist re-imagines the melodies of Hungarian folk music by bringing together ensembles from jazz, latin and world music interspersed with poems in English. Featuring a jazz sextet, Hungarian folk trio, and a vocal octet, this concert builds upon the field research of composers such as Bartók and Kodály, melding disparate musical worlds and confounding stylistic expectations.
