Hats Off! - Józsa Tamás - Etudes and Ostinatos
Hats Off! - Józsa Tamás - Etudes and Ostinatos
This programme is held in Hungarian.
In support of the House of Music's mission, we have launched the Fringe programme - a call for applications in three categories - for music students, hobby musicians and street musicians to perform at various venues in the House. In the Hats off! series, we will bring street musicians and the music they play to the outside of the House of Music, in the park of the City Park.
This time, Tamás Józsa - Etudes and Ostinatos will play around the House and at the ZeneKert.
The performer said about his own work:
I am a composer (mainly theatre and film music, but also contemporary classical music). I have been improvising since I was a little child, and it has always been the most important form of musical expression for me. I was introduced to jazz when I was a music academy student, and it has transformed my musical style considerably. For the competition I wrote a cycle for solo piano, Etudes and Ostinatos, alternating between tied themes and free improvisations.
As part of the Fringe program launched to support the mission of the House of Music – with calls announced in three categories – we are giving an opportunity for music school students, amateur musicians, and street musicians to perform at various points in the House. In the Hats Off! series, we fill the external environment of the House of Music, the City Park, with street musicians and the music they play.
