KCB Symphony Orchestra
“The inspiration derived from folk music is the most important source of creative musical power” wrote Béla Bartók, highlighting the deep roots of his music. His statue in Brussels reminds us of his enduring presence. The KCB Symphony Orchestra performs his monumental Concerto for Orchestra, alongside Kodály’s enchanting Háry János Suite and Liszt’s dazzling First Piano Concerto. All three works pulse with Hungarian folk rhythms and colors. For this concert, the students collaborate with Christian Arming, internationally acclaimed conductor and artistic director of the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège from 2011 to 2019.
