MAKÁM 40 – INSTRUMENTAL

Bede Sári – vocals
Rácz Gabriella – violin
Vázsonyi János – saxofon
Krulik Zoltán – guitar
Bata istván – bass
Varró Zoltán – drums

A Makám az etno- folk és világzene egyik legrégibb hazai képviselője. Az együttes Európa számos országában koncertezett Párizstól Várnáig, Krakkótól Splitig, és turnézott Indiában is. Zenéjükben a magyar népzene mellett a Távol-Kelet, a Balkán, a jazz és a kortárszene hatása is fellelhető. Hangzásvilágát az etnikus és a hagyományos európai hangszerek együtthangzása tették egyedivé.  Legújabb korszakát a magyar népzene archaikus formái s a dal újrafelfedezése jellemzi.
A közelmúltban megjelent lemezeik személyes hangvételű stílusát, egzotikus ritmusok és lírai vallomások meghitt elegye adja. A Bartók és Kodály nevével fémjelzett örökség, az archaikus kultúrák és a kor zenei elemeinek szintézise a Makám változatlan hitvallása.

Makám is one of the oldest Hungarian representatives of ethno-folk and world music. The ensemble gave concerts in many European countries, from Paris to Varna, from Krakow to Split, and also toured in India. In addition to Hungarian folk music, the influence of the Far East, the Balkans, jazz and contemporary music can be found in their music. Its sound world is made unique by the harmony of ethnic and traditional European instruments. Their latest era is characterized by the archaic forms of Hungarian folk music and the rediscovery of the song. Their recently released records have a personal style, an intimate mixture of exotic rhythms and lyrical confessions. The heritage marked by the names of Bartók and Kodály, the synthesis of archaic cultures and the musical elements of the age is the unchanging creed of Makám.

An exceptionally gifted pianist, at home in both jazz and classical music. He walked away with the first prize from the solo piano competition at the 2000 Montreux Jazz Festival. In 2005 he was voted best soloist at the Avignon International Jazz Festival. Since then he has established a serious reputation for himself in the world of jazz. Jack DeJohnette, one of the jazz giants he has played with, had this to say: „I believe Robert is one of the best young pianists on the jazz scene today”.
Another one-time musical partner, John Patitucci gave the following opinion on Robert’s playing: „His sound and touch on the piano are highly developed and very lyrical” Apart from DeJohnette and Patitucci, Robert has played with the likes of Reggie Johnson, Palle Danielsson, Jojo Mayer, Erik Truffaz, Randy Brecker, Bill Evans,Rick Margitza, Hiram Bullock, Ravi Coltrane, Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, Hungarian Radio Symphonic Orchestra – and the list is far from complete.
In Japan, which is the biggest market for jazz today, Robert Lakatos has already recorded seven albums and the eighth is about to be launched with Gregory Hutchinson on the drums. Robert is a member of the Bolla Quartet.

MAGYAR BORI  Sextet

FEATURING:

Bori Magyar – vocals
Zoltán Mizsei – keyboards, electronics, vocals
Dániel Kardos – guitar
Béla Ágoston – winds
Ábel Dénes – double bass
László Farkas Keönch – percussion, drums, vocals

“How is it in this wide world to discover unknown feelings and sounds in the familiar, the familiar in the unknown. To spin with the earth, to travel on the flow, to meet unexpected homeliness in places not yet visited. We have embarked on an adventurous journey together in this wide world, and we are still at the beginning, we are looking forward to continuing!” (Bori Magyar)

Bori Magyar has been an active singer in Hungarian ethno and world music since 2007. As an imprint of her musical inspirations over the past ten years, she produced her first solo album, which she will present at Opus too. She invited the instrumental contributors to the album, who are also the dominant representatives of Hungarian world music, from her current and former fellow musicians. Based on her own ideas, the singer commissioned Zoltán Mizsei and Dániel Kardos to arrange the music of the album, which draws mainly from the traditional music sources of Hungarian and other nationalities.

March 08. – 6pm // JAZZWEEKEND – KERUB Trio

POSTICUM JAZZWEEKEND 2024

Friday
March 08., 6pm, Jazzland:

KERUB (trio)

Béla Ágoston – C-melody, soprano saxophone, alto clarinet, glissonic, hulu, duda, tilinkó, fujara, pánsíp, havasi kürt, steel drum, hö-mi, vocals
Zoltán Mizsei – keyboards, piano, hö-mi, vocals
László Farkas Keönch – cajon, udu, darbuka, kanjira, mouth harp, carillon, bells, shaker, effects, hö-mi, vocals


Kerub invites the audience to a special breather of free music. Akin musical interest, openness, similar vision and secession from the creative workday life, spent with tight-kept wings, turn the common improvisation to a celebration, resembling to a free soaring where Nothing-but-Nothing has been discussed but the time to be spent with playing. In the symbiosis of the trio, togetherness is the only source of inspiration for their gliding music. Though this musical retreat, based on contemporary improvisation techniques, may be a fragile flying modus, the participants speak a common language and hear each other in the right way. Cherubs have four faces, Kerub just three. Perhaps the fourth one is an Ancestor invoked by them – speaking in their tones.

December 17. – 5pm // Classic Concert

Áron Zsolt Dobos – Calssic Concert

December 17., 2023
admission: free | start: 17:00


Áron Zsolt Dobos plays pieces by:

Frédéric Chopin (1810 – 1849)
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827)
Ferenc Liszt (1811 – 1886)

“Ezen a koncerten Chopin, Beethoven és Liszt zongora-szerzeményeiből fogok előadni.
Beethovent azért választottam, mert zongoradarabjai mindig is közel álltak hozzám, mert mindig lényegretörőek és határozott a hangvételük. Chopint azért választottam, mert mindig tud valami újat mutatni legyen szó bármiről, Lisztet pedig azért, mert Lisztnél mindig egy nehezebb akadály vár amivel meg kell birkózni akár milyen nehéz is az az akadály ez nagyon motiváló tud lenni, mert ha sikerül legyőzni az akadályt, az nagyon sikerteli élményt tud nyújtani.”

December 02. – 7pm // NAPFONAT – Advent Concert

Napfonat – Adventi koncert

Tagok:
Szarka Anita
Szalay Heni
Tóth Orsi
Tóth Eszter
Volkova Kriszti

A Napfonat adventi műsorát első formájában 2019-ben hallhatta a közönség. Ez a zenei anyag adta az alapját a most megjelenő lemeznek, amelynek címe Égből, Fényből… (kiadja a Fonó), melyet december másodikán a nagyváradi közönség is hallhat.

A lemez különlegessége, hogy a lányok elrugaszkodva az eddigi a cappella koncepciótól hangszert ragadtak, és a megszokott perkusszív (cajon, keretes dob, darbuka) hangzás mellett citerával, ír buzukival, gitárral, fuvolával, furulyával és zongorával dúsították az albumon szereplő népdalok és ünnepi énekek megszólalását.

A lemez különlegessége, hogy a lányok elrugaszkodva az eddigi a cappella koncepciótól hangszert ragadtak, és a megszokott perkusszív (cajon, keretes dob, darbuka) hangzás mellett citerával, ír buzukival, gitárral, fuvolával, furulyával és zongorával dúsították az albumon szereplő népdalok és ünnepi énekek megszólalását.

Remélhetőleg sok éven át kíséri majd sokak ünnepét, és vallástól és felekezettől függetlenül felidézi bennünk, miről is szólt eredetileg ez az időszak, segítve minket, hogy személyesen is kapcsolódni tudjunk ezekhez az egyetemes emberi értékekhez – így téve ezt a lemezt örökérvényűvé.

A koncert 19 órakor kezdődik és a programon való részvétel ingyenes!
