Péter Eötvös, one of the most influential composers, conductors and teachers of our time, passed away on 24 March 2024. During his international career, he gave lasting musical inspiration to countless musicians and huge audiences, and was equally committed to sharing his professional experience with new generations of composers and conductors through the Péter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation, hosted by BMC. On the anniversary of his death, we commemorate his art and personality with an intimate concert featuring works for small chamber ensembles or solo instruments by his colleagues. Between the pieces, actress Tünde Szalontay reads excerpts from Eötvös and Pedro Amaral’s book Parlando – rubato, interviews, and writings about Eötvös.
