For 30 years, he has been conducting and composing some of the world's most groundbreaking music. Now, you can join Esa Pekka-Salonen as he leads a journey through three eras of Hungarian folk music in Hungarian Echoes: A Philharmonic Festival. Salonen conducts the New York Philharmonic and acclaimed guest artists as they perform music from three trailblazing composers with ties to Hungary — Haydn, Ligeti, and Bartok.
Using his inventive approach to classics, Esa-Pekka Salonen will weave common threads of these masters' works, each building upon the other. The result is a beautiful tapestry of music that will allow you to experience Hungarian folk tradition as it comes alive in these unique performances.
Don't miss this chance to experience the one-of-a-kind mastery of Esa Pekka-Salonen, along with performances by world-renowned pianist Pierre Laurent Aimard. This festival is a must-see for new music lovers, Ligeti enthusiasts, and fans of Salonen.
