The popular Baroque Plus concert series sees the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra hosting two young violinists: Gáspár Kelemen and Gertler Teot, winners of the Ilona Fehér Violin Competition, who received the opportunity to give a concert as the Orchestra's special prize. This concert series features pieces by the greatest Baroque masters as well as a contemporary Hungarian piece.

Péter Wolf writes about his Bassoon Concerto:
I composed the piece at the request of György Lakatos who did not have to persuade me. For a long time I have been watching his play with admiration, but somehow the bassoon as a solo instrument did not interest me. When his request came, I immersed myself in the literature of the bassoon and finally discovered this very colorful instrument. The stereotypes about the bassoon are false. Every range of the bassoon can use colors and moods that touch the listener. Humor, cheekiness, solemnity, lyricism, a bundle of emotions, all are present. I would like to show them as much as possible in my three-movement Bassoon Concerto. The accompaniment is performed by the Chamber Orchestra with whom I have worked the most in my life, whose members I look up to and love. What else do I need? That you the listener can find what makes you feel good. That's what I'm trying to achieve.
