Transfigured Night with Poetry, Music and Animation – Concert Part I

The musicians of the Pannon Philharmonic will take part in a high-quality audition at the beginning of June. The orchestral material of the audition requiring individual preparation is Schoenberg's Transfigured Night, an early piece written before the composer's atonal art and an excellent example of the "Beautiful 20th century" sought by Gergely Kesselyák. Through the performance of this challenging work, the musicians will showcase the present state of their preparedness before an independent professional jury. However, the orchestra will not stop inside the walls of the rehearsal room. The curiosity of the performance of the composition in the focus of the evening on 22 June will be Richard Dehmel's poem "Transfigured Night" (Verklärte Nacht), the inspiration for Schoenberg’s piece, recited by the actors Anna Györfi and Csaba László. 

The students of SZFE's opera director Gergely Kesselyák and PTE's digital art students under the tuition of Balázs Kovács will create an animation together. Gergely Kesselyák will conduct the work. Zsófia Papp, student of Graphic Design, Richárd Késmárki, student of Communication and Media Studies, Balázs Kovács, lecturer, PTE-MK Electronic Music Media Art and Kristóf Weber, composer, are going to contribute to the creation and screening of Transfigured Night. The performance is conducted by Gergely Kesselyák.

The concert is open to the public with a ticket. Ticket price: 3000 HUF.
