The Hungarian Music Society organized its first series of concerts in contemporary music, the Mini-Festival in 1989. Founder Zsolt Durkó sought to create a forum for foreign and Hungarian works that represent different approaches but are consistently of a high artistic quality. Every year, the festival seeks to enable the premieres of pieces written for larger ensembles, choirs or orchestras.

In the second part of the concert, the Saint Ephraim Male Choir will perform a selection of contemporary choral works in the most diverse styles. Originally written for the Male Choir of Sofia, Sándor Szokolay’s mass was first performed in Hungary after 35 years in May 2019, with Tamás Bubnó conducting.

The concert programme also includes the composition Erzsébet Szőnyi wrote in 1947 on a poem by Lajos Kassák, whose performance was not supported for a long time by the cultural authorities of the period.

An event jointly organized with Hungarian Music Society.
