Symphonic Lunch VIII: Season Finale Concert. Hungarian Dances

Estonia Concert Hall

ERSO closes its 99th season with a particularly thrilling guest: cimbalom virtuoso, who will perform a suite from Zoltán Kodály’s comic opera Háry János. The work tells of villagers gathered in a Hungarian tavern to hear the fantastical tales of the old soldier Háry János—most famously, how he single-handedly defeated Napoleon in Milan, yet refused to marry the Empress out of loyalty to his village sweetheart, Örzse. The program also includes Johannes Brahms’ spirited Hungarian Dances and his Third Symphony, conducted by Olari Elts.

Season Finale Concert. Hungarian Dances

Bringing a bright note to dark November days, conductor Neeme Järvi presents a programme of radiant autumn classics. The programme includes Joseph Haydn’s piano concertos, performed by pianist Jaan Ots.
