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.

MAGYAR BORI Sextet

FEATURING:

Bori Hungarian - 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 Hungarian)

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.

08 March - 6pm // JAZZ WEEKEND - KERUB Trio

POSTICUM JAZZWEEKEND 2024

Friday
March 08, 6pm, Jazzland:

KERUB (trio)

Béla Ágoston - C-melody, soprano saxophone, alto clarinet, glissonic, hulu, bagpipe, tilinkó, fujara, pan flute, havasi horn, 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.

17 December - 5pm // Classic Concert

Zsolt Áron Drums - Calssic Concert

17 December, 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)

"In this concert I will perform piano works by Chopin, Beethoven and Liszt.
I chose Beethoven because his piano pieces have always been close to me, because they are always to the point and have a strong tone. I chose Chopin because he always has something new to show us, and Liszt because with Liszt there is always a more difficult obstacle to overcome, no matter how difficult the obstacle, and this can be very motivating, because if you manage to overcome the obstacle, it can be a very successful experience."

Napfonat - Advent concert

Tags:

Napfonat's Advent programme was first performed in 2019. This music is the basis for the new album, entitled From Heaven, From Light... (published by Fonó), which will be released to Oradea audiences on the second of December.

The special feature of the album is that the girls, departing from the a cappella concept, took up an instrument and, in addition to the usual percussive sound (cajon, frame drum, darbuka), enriched the sound of the folk and festive songs on the album with the addition of citer, Irish buzuki, guitar, flute, flute and piano.

Hopefully, it will accompany the celebrations of many for many years to come, reminding us of what this period was all about, regardless of religion or denomination, and helping us to personally connect with these universal human values - making this album everlasting.

The concert starts at 19:00 and is free to attend!

24 September - 7pm // Platon Karataev duo

Platon Karataev duo

Named after a Leo Tolstoy character, was formed in 2016. With their music, the Hungarian indie quartet wanders around the core of existence, seeking answers through paradoxes, contemplating on questions by observing elements on an atomic level or viewing them from an astronomical perspective. For Her's (2017) instant success the band gradually moved away from their acoustic sound to a more broader one. Atoms (2020), with a heavier instrumentation, focuses on speaking about the most universal but on the most personal level with catharsis being a key element of the album.

This time, the songs will be performed as a duo, with songs from the new album alongside previous compositions, and a glimpse of the fourth album in the making.

start: 19:00 // free entry!!
