Summer Suites

Bizet: Carmen Suite
Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite
Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night’s Dream Suite

Conductor: János Kovács

Summer is also about the greatest hits, and from that perspective this evening is a true best-of selection. Composers often arranged their most beloved works into suites, much like the compilation albums of later eras, bringing together their most memorable melodies in a single musical journey. At the Summer Suites concert, audiences can enjoy the most famous and cherished excerpts from Carmen, Peer Gynt, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the unique summer atmosphere of the Castle Garden Bazaar, during an evening that is both light-hearted and artistically rewarding.

Under the artistic direction of Máté Hámori, the ensemble has built an exciting and often unconventional repertoire that combines classical masterpieces with contemporary works and unique musical experiments. The orchestra’s mission is to make classical music a personal, vibrant, and accessible experience for everyone.
