Szabó Dániel Trió

The backbone of the Szabó Dániel Trio's program consists of compositions by the bandleader. Kaleidoscope, that is, a rapid succession of colorful, swirling changes – this is how we could describe the repertoire, which is nevertheless unified by the composer's unique language, stemming from his personality. The pieces are inspired by stories from the past, momentary impressions, fragments of memories, feelings, and sensations. Dániel is just as comfortable with the intricate structures of African-American rhythms and the complex harmonies of jazz as he is with the classical and folk music idioms of Central and Eastern Europe. Perhaps it is thanks to his love and interest in literature, theater, and film that his music almost always tells a story, which, whether it runs along one or more threads, is full of tension, resolutions, distinct, almost personified characters, and often atmospheres that evoke visual imagery. The Dániel Szabó Trio will introduce the audience to this rich world on this evening.
