Schedule
Violinist Zoltán Lantos graduated from the Liszt Academy of Music with a degree in classical music. He lived in India for eight and a half years, from which and from his experiences in the field of contemporary European jazz he built up his own musical world. He has played and continues to play with some of the biggest names on the national and international jazz scene, but he also performs solo, using special electronic effects and loops, which will be heard throughout the evening. His solo album "Alchemyholic", released in 2024, was voted Jazz Album of the Year by the Jazz.hu online jazz portal.
Viola Okos, singer and instrumentalist of Odd ID (Ethnofil), Makám quartet and Fuvalom, has been involved in music since childhood, and was introduced to the stage through folk music in her family. She has been influenced by many other musical genres, and as a performer she also works in popular music styles, and for a few years as a solo artist. Her folk-inspired solo EP " Amerre én wárok " (Where I go), released in 2024, combines alternative genres alongside folk music motifs, with a clear, pensive, atmospheric world.
Combining elements of Nordic jazz and electronic music, 1| parallel lifeforms 1| is a band made up of Balázs Bank percussionist/producer and Viola Okos violinist/vocalist. The repetitive, polyrhythmic layers of analogue and digital synthesizers are counterpointed by improvised string and vocal solos, displaying the interplay of the constant and the changing. Their concert will feature Christianna Strbik Giaume (poetry) and Zoltán Lantos (violin).
