AMBASSADOR OF QUALITY |

 

 

• PFZ is present in the moments of sorrow, the blood and sweat of the masters whose names start not only with the letter ″B″– Bach, Beethoven, Bartók and Bruch – but all other letters of the alphabet when they were penning the compositions you are listening to at this very moment.
• PFZ is just as mysterious as Bluebeard himself, marches along the ants, as in the poem, makes the song of the sirens audible and soars with the Wondrous Deer. The orchestra is present with our contemporaries in the battle for victory and the joy found in the freedom jointly won.
• PFZ is there with the artists wherever their desires guide them and where they can get only through music, and they hang on there with the youth and stand on their guard along with the elderly.
• PFZ has been tending the sacred fire, not forgetting about their ultimate goal: music deserves the highest quality sound. PFZ is present at each celebration, birth and farewell. It stands by the sick, the disabled and the poor. It indulges itself in the company of children, and it is there when you whisper into your dear one’s ear that you love him or love her.
• PFZ is at home in the Kodály Centre, Müpa and the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna. It is present in Pécs, Budapest and all over Europe, and most where music falls from heaven and where it can find you.
• PFZ is with you when you’d like to rest at the end of a tiring day, wanting to recharge your batteries with inexhaustible symphonic energies, and it is also with you in the silence, in your sighs and the roaring applause.

The timbres of PFZ's concert may come to life as colourful yet transparent glass pearls in your imagination: while you walk home, they rattle on in your pockets and line your hands as treasured stones. If you look into their depth, they reflect both the past and the future: they open up new perspectives and make sure you find what you are looking for.

KODÁLY Series

One of the best things in the Thursday evening concert series flowing through the entire season is that it has surprises in store for us every time. We can hear more than twenty-five works, several of which are already long-time acquaintances, and there are others we have never yet encountered. Some of us read our favourite books over and over again, and some are keen to discover a new universe every time. We are all different, but the subscription holders of the Kodály Series have something in common: they inspire the programme organisers of the orchestra to reveal exciting, compelling and non-compromisingly high quality works to the audience. Works by freely soaring spirits, pioneers and composers at the outset of their careers. Those who pick this series this season will enjoy being present in moments when music comes to life in the Kodály Centre and can be part of the creative force of sounds. The series enlist the greatest masters of music history: Beethoven, Ravel, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Paganini, Verdi, Richard Strauss, Bruckner and Shostakovich or our contemporaries, György Orbán or Donghoon Shin, who introduces himself within the framework of the Peter Eotvos Contemporary Music Foundation. After Bartók's ″violin sketch″, Kristóf Baráti will showcase his multifaceted talent in the most beautiful and most recent violin concertos, while it will be the first time for Barnabás Kelemen to collaborate with Gilbert Varga. The fans of unique treats can hear the saxophonist Valentine Michaud in Glazunov’s concerto. Klara Min and Gergely Bogányi will be performing some most beloved piano concertos. All featured conductors play a pivotal role in the development path of the ensemble.

 

 

Pannonicum Series

The concerts of the Pannonicum Series all mark red-letter Saturdays. These weekends guide us through a turbulent year similarly to the flat stones in a quick-current stream, where we can step safely and which help us reach the other side. The opening concert kicks off with one of the favourite violin concertos of all time, followed by a concert featuring a unique symphony. We can make the acquaintance of two genuine bridgemen, Bartók and Enescu, who show us an example of the binding force of the arts. They were present in the endeavours of making national treasures a universal asset. The concert concluding the series presents to us one of the best-known works of music history as a tribute to European culture. Among the soloists, we can welcome stars like the internationally celebrated violinist Jennifer Pike, for whom it will be her first time to perform in Pécs, the pianists János Balázs and József Balog, some most outstanding vocal soloists and the Hungarian Radio Choir. Besides PFZ's chief conductor, Tibor Bogányi, and its permanent conductor, András Vass, such conductors will step on the podium as Leo McFall and Gabriel Bebeșelea. The worldwide renowned Gérard Korsten, a great admirer of the Kodály Centre and the city of Pécs, will close the series.

 

 

Flirt Series

The series is searching for some exhilarating Flirtatious Friday night answers and helps us wink out from reality for a little while. It is hard to predict what the future has in store for us. Will we find the right one? Where will we end up? How long will we live on this earth? But music, just like magic, fairy tales and our faith in destiny, will free us from the burdens of controlling things for a moment, and sets us off on the path of imagination. It defies death in the dance of light and shade alongside Beethoven, Mozart, Harry Potter, and his companions with the help of a left-hand piano concerto, Scheherazade and some witches. We can enjoy works written classical and turned classical interpreted by the greatest musicians. The true magicians of concerts are the conductors. In this series, the Pannon Philharmonic will be playing under the baton of the most prominent Hungarian conductors,  such as András Keller and Gábor Káli. PFZ’s guest ensemble is the Óbuda Danubia Orchestra and Máté Hámori, while its international guest conductor will be Nicolò Umberto Foron, who works wonders with his baton in some inspired moments just like the beloved Harry Potter.
