About the Programme

In the commemorative year of the 1956 Revolution’s 60th anniversary, f the '56 Memorial Committee organizes a festive concert series in several European countries. The festive concerts pay tribute to the memory of the heroes who stood up against an inhuman dictatorship, setting their out-braveness as an example to the people of today. At the request of the Commission, the Pannon Philharmonic plays, besides the one at the Kodály Centre, five concerts in Vojvodina in the second half of October.
At the concerts of the series you can hear works by Hungarian composers, including Bartók’s Concerto, full of homesickness, in honour of the Bartók-year and Beethoven's Egmont Overture, which later became the musical symbol of the 1956 Revolution in. As Péter Balassa said, "then, in those days it got into the revolutionary context of a small country in Central Europe, so it became a new work."
The Bartók works played at the concerts are part of the Bartók Pentathlon, of which frame the people who registered are eligible to visit the rehearsal and initiating performances of the Concerto and the Divertimento.
