Félix Lajkó Marathon - Veszprém (17 Jan)
The violin virtuoso, who has conquered Europe, Tokyo and New York, Félix Lajkó will play at Veszprém's Hangvilla. He was but a high schooler when he left Subotica for Budapest and joined the Dresch Quartet, starting a musical career that has since seen cooperations with stars like the popular Serbian trumpeteer, Boban Marković. His free improvisations are inspired by folk music, blues and jazz, and, in addition to his violin, he plays the zyther and the piano impeccably - not to mention his whistling. To witness this instinctual mixture of music and spirit, visit the Lajkó Matahon at Hangvilla on Saturday, 17 January. This concert apropos the 40th birthday of the artist features pianist János Balázs.
