Philippe Herreweghe and his ensembles: an evening of Beethoven
Classical Music, Opera, Theatre
Taking the stage at Müpa Budapest on this evening will be the creative spirit Philippe Herreweghe joined by the world-famous workshops he founded: the Collegium Vocale Gent and the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées. As is well known, his repertoire is not limited strictly to early music: he conducts anything that captures his interest, from Monteverdi and Gesualdo to Stravinsky, and Dvořák. This time around, he will be interpreting the message of Beethoven: with the popular Fourth Piano Concerto in G major featuring Kristian Bezuidenhout, a specialist in early keyboard instruments, and the soloists in the rarely played Mass in C major comprised of an international cast of singers.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
