KOMP is a selection of contemporary music in the spirit of the Mini-Festival, created for this year by the Hungarian Music Society. Presented for the 33rd occasion, the series, which comprises three evenings, is meant to be a platform for contemporary music, one that allows the classical concert experience to be more informal, facilitates a real dialogue and direct contact with composers active today, and turns premieres into more personal celebrations.
The programme of this concert, which presents different shades of chamber music, is bookended by two string quartets, the compositions of István Győrffy and Péter Durkó, respectively. Like Bartók’s violin duets, Miklós Csemiczky’s viola duos are a series very rich in character. Barnabás Horváth and Krisztina Megyeri, two artists from the middle generation, bring fairly fresh works. Gyula Bánkövi makes his contribution to a colourful concert with a magical four-handed piano piece from 2006.
