Kaddish
Pannon Philharmonic
Classical Music, Opera, Theatre
It was eighty years ago that the Holocaust, the greatest tragedy in the history of the 20th century, reached its terrible peak. To this day, we remain puzzled and often dumbfounded as to how such a thing could have taken place in an enlightened Europe. But the Jewish tradition is not silent: the Kaddish funeral hymn has accompanied the period of mourning for thousands of years and, despite the loss, upliftingly entrusts the dead to God's benevolence. And art has not remained silent either, as several composers have crafted musical treatments of this text. At this concert, we shall remember, mourn and console ourselves with such works.

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.
