Martha Argerich and Mischa Maisky in Concert at the Cziffra Festival
Classical Music, Opera, Theatre
Martha Argerich and Mischa Maisky are the brightest stars of the classical music world, artists who will be remembered by generations to come. Their fans can identify their sound from a single note, a single run. The legendary artistic relationship between these two internationally renowned virtuosos is now half a century old: their strong vision and romantic way of thinking form an inexhaustible wellspring for the music they make together. Their fiery, energetic and always unique and uncompromising musicianship makes them inimitable. Every time they take the stage together is a special celebration, and this is not their first time doing so as part of the Cziffra Festival. This time, they are bringing great classics of the repertoire for cello and piano duo to Müpa Budapest.

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.
