Jeneba Kanneh-Mason and the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
Classical Music, Opera, Theatre
British pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason grew up as one of seven children in her family. Each one of her siblings now plays either violin, cello or piano at a professional level. Her parents - her father hails from the Caribbean nation of Antigua, while her mother was born in Sierra Leone in West Africa - are both accomplished instrumentalists as well, though neither of them ever took it up as a career. The family enjoys considerable popularity in Britain, with the children frequently performing together. At age 21, Kanneh-Mason currently studies at the Royal College of Music in London and can already boast excellent results at numerous competitions, as well as serious international concert experience.

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.
