We would like to bring extraordinary concerts to life even in the world of chamber music, and to enrich our country's music offerings with new arrangements and exciting instrument combinations. There is no better time for this than during the carnival season, so we are making some real changes:

We introduce our audience to special arrangements of popular works. If we break away from the familiar sound, we can "eavesdrop" on the deeper layers of the work. What does it feel like to listen to Vivaldi on a tarogato? How do The Carnival of the Animals or Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 sound played by a tuba quartet? Is it possible to play one of the most virtuoso pieces, the Monti Czardas, on the biggest, loudest and "slowest" instrument, the tuba? Junior Prima Award-winning young tuba player Gergely Lukács will answer those questions, along with outstanding members of our company, bringing smiles to our faces on a fun, colorful evening at the Társaskör. We have heard this phrase many times, but now it is worth taking seriously: it cannot be missed!
