More about the concert and the festival.

This autumn László Tihanyi is the composer in residence at the 7. Kempten Internationales Festival der Kammermusik. In the framework of the week-long series of concerts four of his works will be performed, including the première of Rundherum, for piano and string quartet, commissioned by the festival. The title refers to the arrangement on the platform of the instruments and music stands, and to the movement of the players.

The ninth and last concert of the project "Europe through the eyes of Russians. Russia through the eyes of Europeans" (organized by the Centre of Contemporary Music, Moscow Conservatory) is dedicated to the musical connections of Russia and Hungary. Along with earlier solo and chamber works by Denisov, Ustvolskaya, Bartók, Ligeti and Kurtág, new commissioned compositions by Nikolay Khrust and by László Tihanyi are to be premiered at Rachmaninov Hall on February 9.
