Starlit melodies under the open sky – VANGELIS at the Kálnoky Castle Concerts! In a special open-air edition of the Summer Season concert series, the legendary music of VANGELIS comes to life, embraced by the beauty of nature. The iconic works of the Greek composer will be performed by Botond Szőcs (piano), Magdalena Suciu (violin), and Apor Tóth-Györbiró (cello) in a unique and atmospheric chamber music arrangement. Get ready for an unforgettable evening as the melodies of 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Blade Runner, and Chariots of Fire fill the nighttime silence of the castle gardens.
About the music: Vangelis (Evángelos Papathanassíou) was a pioneer of modern instrumental music, whose compositions are both monumental and intimate. His use of electronic textures, spiritual atmospheres, and profound emotional depth made his film scores timeless. The trio of piano, violin, and cello brings a new dimension to these works—evoking both the vastness of the universe and the subtle vibrations of the human soul.
