The Concert of the Virtuosos
On November 16th the Virtuosos Ensemble gave a frenetic concert in the Hungarian Community Centre. The programme consisted of well known, popular pieces in new arrangements by Apor Szűts. The compositions and the very talented young performers riveted the attention of the audience till the very end. One encore proved to be too little – the audience would have liked more but the intensity and virtuosity of the performance did not allow more from the players. Please, watch the recording, hopefully it will give you and idea of the atmosphere of the evening.
