Veronica Swift Concert
Mo | Tu | We | Th | Fr | Sa | Su |
Born into a family of musicians, the eerily talented American singer Veronica Swift has cut through the stages of her career like a hot knife through butter to release, at the age of 29, her eponymous sixth album, the one that best reflects the full diversity of her personality. The Thelonious Monk International Singing Competition finalist, a veteran of touring as a guest artist with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, will also prove at Müpa Budapest that, in addition to her jazz chops, she also possesses the stylistic tools needed for bossa nova, blues, funk, rock, vaudeville and classical music and a voice that evokes the sparkle of a polished diamond.
Program and cast
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.
