"Oh, you men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me!” wrote the 32-year-old Beethoven in his Heiligenstadt Testament. Throughout his life, he strived to express how full of love for humanity and the joy of life he was in spite of all the tragedies fate had dealt him. His violin concerto is one of the most beautiful examples of this effort. The Pathétique Symphony was Tchaikovsky's final work. If we pay sufficient attention, we can read in it the heartbreaking farewell letter of a person who is about to die. This evening is an opportunity to hear two profound confessions.

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.
