It is one of the most progressive and versatile symphonic orchestras, whose playing is characterised by the passion, energy, and commitment that its musicians give to their performances of repertoire ranging from well-loved masterpieces to newly composed works of the twenty-first century. Through its ambitious and innovative programmes and special sound, it has brought a new colour to Hungary’s musical palette. The orchestra recently visited the National Concert Hall in Dublin for a performance as part of their International Series.
