with Guitarist Gabor Ursu and with the Hungaryian Accordion Trio with
fellow accordionists Gabor Weber and bass accordionist Isvan Horvath.
The program opened with the Guitar/Accordion duo performing a rich collection
of traditional Hungarian Music as well as other traditional folk music
from South America to Russia.
The second half of the program was with his trio, the Budapest Accordion
Trio which was formed in 1993. Performing a mixture of well-known classics
from composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi, Rimsky Korsakov the Trio were
welcomed back to the stage for several curtain calls.
The
star accordionist is Zoltan Orosz. With superb crisp technical skill,
his lightening quick fingers covered the keyboard like magic. Three times
Hungarian Accordion Champion, he has torued in both Hungary and abroad.
