Savaria Symphony Orchestra, Szombathely

Conductor: Mátyás Antal

Thanks to Müpa Budapest’s New Year’s concerts, Joseph Haydn’s late oratorio The Creation is regularly performed in the concert halls of Budapest. The work places man in the context of the universe as a whole. It is even more important that from time to time we also have the pleasure of hearing Hadyn’s other great oratorio, The Seasons, which presents the relationship between man and nature with a similar serenity and thrilling confidence. The concert provides an opportunity for a unique encounter, as instead of working alongside its ‘mother orchestra’, on this occasion the Hungarian National Choir will perform in tandem with the Savaria Symphony Orchestra from Szombathely.
