Istvánffy Benedek exhibition at Richter Hall
The Győr Philharmonic Orchestra in association with the Győr Diocesan Archives is set to open a rather unique exhibition on September 19, 2016, in the first floor foyer of Richter Hall. Visitors will be able to familiarize themselves with the life and works of essentially the one and only representative of the late baroque/early classical era of Hungarian music of the highest European standards, Benedek Istvánffy, after whom our latest season ticket is coincidentally named. The exhibition is entitled „Benedek Istvánffy, a Hungarian genius from the 18th century”.
János Sándor season ticket
Impressive musical offerings await patrons and GYPO fans for the 2016-17 concerts of the new János Sándor season ticket series. The opening presentation is no less than timeless masterpieces by Liszt, Grieg, and Bartók, performed at Richter Hall, Győr, by the National Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by two-time Kossuth Prize winner, Zoltán Kocsis, and featuring as soloist the enormously talented young Hungarian pianist, László Váradi.
