The „Listen to Your Ears!” series invites listeners on a shared musical journey, where we can experience well-known and lesser-known piano pieces through our five senses. We will hear the difference: music can be played more sweetly, more darkly, more harshly, more smoothly, more perfumely, more softly, or more sharply – since music is the life proper surrounding us. Listening to Balázs Fülei’s performances we also realize that the perception of music works mainly through our open hearts and alert senses.

MADRE is the story of a son and his mother, who lives on a farm: she has fallen into a well. Was she distracted? Is she losing her mind? Did she do it on purpose? This is not a dialogue, it is a diptych made up of two monologues. He scolds her then goes to look for tools; winches and muskets, iron tubes and pulleys, all the “technology” required to pull her out. From deep inside herself, and from inside a well that’s as deep as infinity, she confesses. She’s not afraid, and she doesn’t feel distressed.

Robbanékony energiák köntös nélkül, letisztult formában a Bánki-tó partján! Október 17-én az Anna and the Barbies egy exkluzív akusztikus koncerttel érkezik a bánki METTRIN Rendezvény- és Művészeti Központba. Éld át a rock 'n' roll energiákat testközelből, finom lüktetéssel, egy megismételhetetlenül intim hangulatú estén!

A zene ott kezdődik, ahol a szavak már elerőtlenednek, és kevés műfaj képes olyan mélyen megérinteni a szívet, mint a gospel és a jazz találkozása. Idén télen a METTRIN Művészeti Központ falai közé ismét beköltözik ez a varázslat, hogy egy nemzetközi színvonalú koncerttel hangolódjunk az ünnepi időszakra.
