Ferencsik Season Pass 1.
The season opening concert of the National Philharmonic Orchestra is linked with the anniversary of the death of Béla Bartók. This tradition goes back to the time of János Ferencsik and Kobayashi Ken-Ichiro. We wish to cherish this tradition; however, this year, as an exception, instead of works by the great maestro, we have put together a programme featuring works by Hungarian composers who inspired Béla Bartók through their works or their friendship. We have done this as a mark of respect for one of the greatest interpreters of Bartók of all times, Zoltán Kocsis.
