Event Details : Concert By the Kodály String Quartet from Hungary.
Attila Falvay (first violin); Erika Tóth (second violin); János Fejérvári (viola); György Éder (violin-cello) Founded in 1966 by students of the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest, the Quartet has made it its mission to authentically interpret the Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály, and to uphold his musical values and traditions. It also acknowledges inspiration from Zoltan Szekely, first violinist of the Hungarian String Quartet, with whom its members have studied. Besides having performed the major Hungarian composers as well as premières of contemporary Hungarian pieces, it has recorded entire string quartet cycles by Beethoven, Schubert and Haydn. The Quartet has performed in North and South America, in nearly all European countries, throughout the Far East, and once before in India. Among other honours, its recording of
Mendelssohn and Bruch octets in 2007 was nominated by the BBC for the ‘Best Chamber Music Recording of the Year’ Award.
