Junior Prima Award-winning jazz composer and pianist, Dezső Oláh, born in 1986, is one of Hungary's most talented and promising young musicians. Reflections of Béla Bartók’s Six Romanian Dances, his adaptation of Bartók's well-known piano work, was released in 2016 and was presented with great success in Opus in March last year.

The present concert is the premiere of his latest pieces. In the first part of the evening the trio performs Oláh's Intermezzo I-VII., a cycle composed on each day of a week, while in the second, they will be joined by the Budapest Wind Quintet, a group presenting usually classical and contemporary music. First they introduce La Folia for Woodwinds and Jazz Trio, Oláh's new contemporary piece of music based on the harmony of baroque music, simultaneously stylizing and expanding its possibilities. The closing piece, Contemporum, inspired by the rhythm of dances from the Eastern-Hungarian Szatmár region, is a strange mixture of contemporary and folk music with the constant presence of improvisation.
