The 80-year-old jazz pianist Kenny Barron is not a legend of the genre simply because of his age, or the fact that he played in Dizzy Gillespie's band for an extended period in the 1960s. Or even because in the mid-1980s he performed some memorable concerts with Sten Getz and Charlie Haden, and has also released some major albums. Or due to the fact that performers like Dave Holland featured on his albums in the 2010s. Instead, it is because, ever since the bepop era, his play has made him one of the most influential pianists on the mainstream jazz scene. Now, he will play for the very first time in Hungary as part of a trio (he has already performed in Budapest in a duo). Unmissable!

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
