Várallyay Petra solo concert
Petra Várallyay is a returning guest of Opus with her fusion jazz trio, but this time she presents her solo project. Her programme includes her own pieces, jazz standards, early music and folk arrangements. The rhythmic and harmonic complexity of Petra's music is coupled with a direct, instinctive performance style, an exciting cavalcade of instruments and vocals that range from melancholic soundscapes to asymmetrical ethno-jazz grooves and live looping.
Schedule
Petra Várallyay achieved her first great success as a classical violinist, but later her interest increasingly led to improvisational fusion music and composition. She studied jazz piano and jazz music at the Bartók Konzi, then jazz composition and classical violin at the Academy of Music. With her characteristic playing, she is as present in the cult concert venues of the underground music scene as she is on the stage of the most prestigious concert halls. In addition to her own trio, she is a regular composer of the Jazzation acappella formation, having worked with Bobby McFerrin, Uri Cainen and Yo-Yo Ma, performing at numerous domestic and foreign festivals, touring a wide range of genres. In recognition of her musical work, she received the Orszáczky Prize in 2016, the Junior Artisjus Prize in 2017, the Junior Prima Prize in 2020, and the Creative Art Prize, in the piano improvisation competition founded by György Vukán in 2021.
