Description
Ferenc Snétberger's guitar concerto For my People is an uplifting anthem of hope for the end of human suffering, a personal confession written in memory of the Roma and Sinti victims of the Holocaust. The three-movement work is inspired by the emotional music of the Roma tradition. Snétberger has performed it in many places around the world, including at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
he will open the evening with the guitar concerto written by world-famous British jazz guitarist and composer John McLaughlin. Dubbed the "Mediterranean” concerto, this work from the mid-80's has never before been performed in Hungary. Snétberger will then proceed to play his own Rhapsody No. 3, a glimpse into his personal musical world, where the Roma tradition meets formal classical training, with the influence of flamenco and jazz also present in the mix.
