concert
The “Musicians” (I Musici), after the huge success of their concert last year are coming again to Miskolc from Rome to conquer and impress the audience of Bartók Plus Opera Festival.
Their programme includes pieces not only From Rossini, Puccini and Mascagni but Dvořák and Shostakovich as well. The orchestra, performing without a conductor ever since its establishment, is primarily characterized by an utter symbiosis of the twelve musicians, who elaborate the technical aspects and the way of presentation for every single musical piece in cooperation with each other. They have convinced the audience with their unique way of presentation created with this method of playing music, uncommon at the time, which is best proved by the fact that the “Musicians” (I Musici) are well known – and loved – all over the world.
