Acclaimed percussionist András Dés presents a weekend of top jazz acts – Veronika Harcsa, János Ávéd, Kristóf Bacsó, Miklós Lukács and Márton Fenyvesi – at the House of Hungarian Music on 17-18 September. Vienna-based and Austrian artists Vinicius Ciccone Cajado, Lukas Koenig, Clemens Sainitzer and David Six also appear. As Dés himself puts it: “Thanks to their similarities, the Austro-Hungarian cultural dialogue easily finds common points of reference, but thanks to their differences, it can easily become a new source of inspiration. I've been living in the Austrian capital for almost four years and every day I'm faced with the fact that superb musician friends I've met in Vienna and those I’ve long known in Budapest hardly know each other. I decided to use the opportunity provided by the House of Hungarian Music to bring them together”.
