One of Europe's most virtuoso double bass players is coming to Budapest. Uli Fussenegger will give a solo concert at the Hold Street church on April 20 at 6 p.m., where, in addition to the giants of music literature, the program will also include three premieres. After that, he gives a public master class to young musicians.
Now in its fifth season, the ÚjLélekZene series of the Sonus Foundation brings special contemporary music programs to church spaces. Uli Fussenegger will give a solo concert entitled Touch . The professor at the University of Basel and a player at the Klangforum in Vienna will demonstrate the virtuoso techniques of the double bass in his program and promise a variety of sounds and sounds that the audience can rarely hear, especially in such beautiful acoustics.
In addition to pieces by Kurtág and Bach, the program will also include three premieres. Illés Márton wrote his piece "Szorongós" for double bass in the Psychogram series, while Gryllus Samu's piece Keep On Keeping On - Monument V works with electronics that fit into the space alongside the instrument. In addition to fans of contemporary music, the concert also appeals to a new audience open to immersion or virtuosity.
The Budapest audience can also gain an insight into the mysteries of playing this special instrument, as the double bass master will hold a public course for young musicians on the day after the concert, which is also open to the public.
