Lunchtime concert: Anna Albert and Anikó Barna

A 35-minute concert for voice and zither in the middle of the day, built around the folk music Bartók went out collecting. You can hear it and still get lunch.

About the event

The House of Music's Lunchtime series hands the middle of the day to short concerts by young musicians, with time for a meal around them. Anna Leona Albert sings and Anikó Barna plays the citera, the Hungarian box zither, and the pair work the seam between traditional playing and newer writing, so the programme keeps moving between the familiar and the experimental. Their set takes Béla Bartók's collecting trips as its starting point, pairing authentic Hungarian folk material with melodies of the other peoples whose music he gathered. The Trilla restaurant next to the hall lays on a two-course menu for these concerts, meat or vegetarian, but a table has to be booked ahead and the concert ticket does not include it.
