VOCES8 and Pétur Sakari
Advent selection from several hundred years of music
It is not immodest, just a statement of fact on the website of the Grammy-nominated VOCES8: you are looking at the world’s most listened-to classical vocal group. The joy of anticipation at this advent concert will be captured by an a capella octet known for its impressive versatility and crystal-clear harmonies, and which will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of its formation with 100 concerts. Pétur Sakari, the Finnish organist appearing alongside them, is barely a decade older and already appeared in Northern Europe’s leading concert halls, festivals and churches, including the Notre-Dame de Paris and the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, in his twenties. The celebratory atmosphere will be inspired by classical and lesser-known works carefully selected from a repertoire spanning several centuries. Let’s get in the mood for Christmas by decorating our souls!

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
