The attraction of South American rhythms – this could be the motto of this concert of the Danubia Orchestra and Argentinian conductor Mariano Chiacchiarini. The international career of the Buenos Aires-born conductor took off after winning the 1st Prize of the Teatro Colón Conducting Competition, and he could work with such luminaries as Sir Simon Rattle, Pierre Boulez, Péter Eötvös, Riccardo Chailly, Riccardo Muti and Bernard Haitink. He has performed at major festivals and concert halls, including the Lucerne Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Young Euro Classic, the Donaueschinger Musiktage, the Elbphilharmonie, the Konzerthaus in Vienna and Berlin, the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, the Teatro Colón and the Opéra Bastille. A few days before his appearance in Budapest, he will conduct the Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra in Cologne for the world premiere of Sōma, a new work for jazz quartet, electronics and symphony orchestra by Portuguese composer Igor C Silva, commissioned by the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO).
Sponsored by: Igor C Silva composed Sōma on commission from the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO), with the support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.

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.
