Our Bartók concerts in Berlin 2025

Béla Bartók's works combine Hungarian folk music with modernism. He is modern without being avant-garde, uses all 12 tones but retains a modal character. Tradition and future united in one œuvre. This makes Bartók one of the most important composers of the first half of the 20th century - and his works something you absolutely have to hear! The ROC ensembles make sure of this with their Bartók concerts in Berlin.

Bartók concerts by the ROC in Berlin

Liszt had already devoted himself to Hungarian folk music and tried to incorporate its influences into his compositions. Bartók, strongly influenced by Liszt, continued this attempt and succeeded in preserving the Hungarian character of his music while at the same time lending his work something extraordinarily modern, without appearing deliberate or artificial.

This unusual but very authentic combination of folk music and a music that turns away from the major-minor dichotomy and searches for something new, this musical legacy that Bartók left us, is performed for you by our ROC ensembles at impressive venues in Berlin - in a quality that will stay in your ears for years to come.
