Ivan Fischer gives free concert with players from Russia, Ukraine, Israel and Palestine

The Budapest Festival Orchestra will give a free concert on August 31 on Heroes’ Square with musicians from both sides of two conflicts.

JS Bach’s concerto for two violins will feature Diana Tishchenko from Ukrainian Crimea with Moscow-born Alexander Sitkovetsky. The Israeli Idan Raichel will perform three of his compositions, accompanied by the Palestinian oud-player Taiseer Elias.

In the second half, Fischer will conduct Mahler’s 3rd symphony.
