contemporary figures in jazz, two-time Grammy Award winner Kurt Elling will perform this summer on the enchanting open-air stage of the Margaret Island Theatre. The American singer\u2019s distinctive, velvety voice, exceptional improvisational skill, and deeply human style captivate audiences in the world\u2019s most prestigious concert halls. At his performances, that rare and intangible magic is reborn again and again\u2014making live music something truly worth, even essential, to experience in person. He brings this magic to Margaret Island as well!<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the Brass Palace \u2013 live on Margaret Island!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At his Margaret Island concert, Kurt Elling will present his latest album, In The Brass Palace, released in February 2026. The concert centers around this large-scale musical work built on a modern big band sound, in which Elling realizes a unique artistic vision: the full big band sound is centered around the human voice\u2014not merely as accompaniment, but as the central element of musical storytelling. On the original recording, the WDR Big Band collaborated, while at the Margaret Island concert the richly orchestrated pieces will be performed by the Hungarian All-Star Big Band, composed of outstanding musicians from Hungary\u2019s jazz scene. The program unfolds as a series of dynamic, cinematic scenes, where classic big band tradition, contemporary jazz sound, and Elling\u2019s expressive vocal style meet. In the Brass Palace is both a tribute to big band tradition and a fresh, modern reinterpretation\u2014an expansive, emotionally rich jazz program built on the dialogue between voice and orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>In the Brass Palace is one of the most ambitious projects of Elling\u2019s career: a bold meeting of voice and orchestra, tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and imagination. Grand-scale, expressive jazz\u2014created for attentive listening and deep emotion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA big band album has been on my list since my very first record. I wanted this music to celebrate what people love about big bands\u2014the power, the swing, the elegance\u2014while also challenging expectations. \u2018My Very Own Ride\u2019 perfectly captures that balance.\u201d (Kurt Elling)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n

style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>Margaret Island Open-Air Theatre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the iconic opening of&nbsp;<em>O Fortuna<\/em>&nbsp;resounds, the audience will know instantly that they are in for an extraordinary evening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Few works in classical music are as instantly recognizable as Carl Orff\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Carmina Burana<\/em>. With its powerful rhythms, vivid choral writing and unforgettable opening chorus,&nbsp;<em>O Fortuna<\/em>, the work has captivated audiences around the world since its premiere in 1937.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This special concert at the Margaret Island Open-Air Theatre presents not only Orff\u2019s most celebrated masterpiece, but also its rarely performed companion piece,&nbsp;<em>Catulli Carmina<\/em>. Together, the two works offer a fascinating insight into the composer\u2019s distinctive musical language, shaped by elemental rhythms, ancient texts and theatrical expression.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on medieval Latin and Old High German poetry,&nbsp;<em>Carmina Burana<\/em>&nbsp;is a vibrant celebration of love, nature, fortune and the pleasures of life. Its powerful musical imagery and dramatic energy have made it one of the most frequently performed choral works of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Composed shortly afterwards,&nbsp;<em>Catulli Carmina<\/em>&nbsp;explores the passionate and turbulent relationship between the Roman poet Catullus and his beloved Lesbia. Drawing on Catullus\u2019 surviving poems, Orff created a work of striking rhythmic vitality and emotional intensity. Originally conceived for the stage, it is now most often heard in concert performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This rare pairing brings together two landmark works of twentieth-century music and offers audiences a unique opportunity to experience the breadth and imagination of Orff\u2019s artistic vision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Featuring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Erika Mikl\u00f3sa<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 coloratura soprano<br \/><em>Kossuth Prize and Liszt Ferenc Prize laureate<br \/><\/em><strong>Ninh \u0110\u1ee9c Ho\u00e0ng Long<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 tenor<br \/><strong>M\u00e1t\u00e9 F\u00fclep<\/strong> \u2013 baritone<br \/><strong>ELTE B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k Choir and University Concert Orchestra<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Conductor<br \/><\/strong><strong>L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Kov\u00e1cs<\/strong><br \/><em>Liszt Ferenc Prize laureate, Meritorious Artist<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"tab-13222\" class=\"sp-tab__tab-pane \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-tab-content animated fadeIn\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1421  alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mikosa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mikosa.jpg 500w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mikosa-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mikosa-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mikosa-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/mikosa-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Erika Mikl\u00f3sa<\/strong> is one of Hungary\u2019s most celebrated opera singers and an internationally acclaimed coloratura soprano.

During the composition of the opera, Giuseppe Verdi was fascinated by the romantic atmosphere of the medieval world and the mysterious spirit of the gypsy camps. From this inspiration emerged the story of the enigmatic troubadour whose serenade ignites Leonora\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>The plot of the opera takes place in Spain in the 1410s, during the civil conflict in which the Count of Urgel launched a war of succession against King Ferdinand I of Aragon, nephew of the late King Martin, who had been elected rather than inheriting the throne. In the city of Zaragoza, situated on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees and at the center of the Kingdom of Aragon, the royalist Count di Luna resides in the Aljafer\u00eda Palace, while Leonora, lady-in-waiting to the queen, lives in the nearby Sargasto Palace. Manrico, the troubadour, comes from the mountains of Biscay and fights on the side of the Count of Urgel. Count di Luna and Manrico are therefore not only rivals in love, but also political enemies.<\/p>\n<p>At the center of the drama stands Azucena, the gypsy woman, who silently entangles the destinies of the characters and passively drives the love triangle toward tragedy. Within her, the voice of compassion struggles against the ancient tradition of blood revenge that ultimately shapes the fate of all involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"tab-13094\" class=\"sp-tab__tab-pane \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-tab-content animated fadeIn\"><p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1398 \" src=\"https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif.jpg 666w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/>Yusif Eyvazov<\/strong> is a dramatic tenor, with a thriving international performing career.

During the composition of the opera, Giuseppe Verdi was fascinated by the romantic atmosphere of the medieval world and the mysterious spirit of the gypsy camps. From this inspiration emerged the story of the enigmatic troubadour whose serenade ignites Leonora\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>The plot of the opera takes place in Spain in the 1410s, during the civil conflict in which the Count of Urgel launched a war of succession against King Ferdinand I of Aragon, nephew of the late King Martin, who had been elected rather than inheriting the throne. In the city of Zaragoza, situated on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees and at the center of the Kingdom of Aragon, the royalist Count di Luna resides in the Aljafer\u00eda Palace, while Leonora, lady-in-waiting to the queen, lives in the nearby Sargasto Palace. Manrico, the troubadour, comes from the mountains of Biscay and fights on the side of the Count of Urgel. Count di Luna and Manrico are therefore not only rivals in love, but also political enemies.<\/p>\n<p>At the center of the drama stands Azucena, the gypsy woman, who silently entangles the destinies of the characters and passively drives the love triangle toward tragedy. Within her, the voice of compassion struggles against the ancient tradition of blood revenge that ultimately shapes the fate of all involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"tab-13094\" class=\"sp-tab__tab-pane \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-tab-content animated fadeIn\"><p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1398 \" src=\"https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif.jpg 666w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/yusif-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/>Yusif Eyvazov<\/strong> is a dramatic tenor, with a thriving international performing career.

Theatre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Running time: 140 minutes (with one intermission)<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, the 100-Member Gypsy Orchestra will once again perform at the Margaret Island Open-Air Stage, on the eve of the celebration of the founding of the Hungarian state, August 20. The orchestra entitled to use the designation \u201cHungarikum \u2013Outstanding National Value\u201d since March 18, 2014, now looks back on a history of more than four decades; in 2025 it celebrated the 40th anniversary of its founding on this very stage.<\/p>\n<p>The evening\u2019s program traditionally builds on the encounter between classical music and Hungarian Gypsy music. The special repertoire features works by masters such as Franz Liszt and B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k, interwoven with the incomparable sound world of Hungarian Gypsy music.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, the orchestra will also embark on a world tour, planning to bring this Hungarian national treasure already rightly recognized on the international level to the concert halls of major cities in the Far East, America, and Europe. Thus, the Margaret Island performance is not merely a concert, but a forerunner of the journey on which Hungarian musical culture will once again take its place on the world\u2019s most significant stages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n            <!-- Custom Data Fields -->\r\n            \r\n            <!-- Links Module -->\r\n            <div class=\"mec-event-social mec-frontbox\">\r\n     <h3 class=\"mec-social-single mec-frontbox-title\">Share this event<\/h3>\r\n     <div class=\"mec-event-sharing\">\r\n        <div class=\"mec-links-details\">\r\n            <ul>\r\n                <li class=\"mec-event-social-icon\"><a class=\"facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmargitszigetiszinhaz.hu%2Fen%2Fevents%2Fflame-of-heritage-masterpieces-by-the-100-member-gypsy-orchestra-and-its-concert-orchestra%2F\" onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href, &apos;&apos;, &apos;menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=500,width=600&apos;);

The production explores the unsettling reality of the late 19th century \u2014 a time marked by overcrowded psychiatric institutions, misunderstood mental illnesses, and cruel, often inhumane treatments carried out in the name of healing.<\/p>\n<p>At the center of the story stands Odette, a young schizophrenic woman confined within the walls of an asylum. In her fractured imagination, she becomes the Swan Queen, drifting freely between fantasy and reality, between memories, desires, and an unattainable future. Neither the solitude of the ward nor the restraints of a strait jacket can suppress the limitless freedom of her inner world. The elongated sleeves of the restraint become the remnants of broken swan wings \u2014 capturing the painful moment of transformation: no longer fully human, not yet entirely lost.<\/p>\n<p>The characters surrounding her exist simultaneously as figures from <em>Swan Lake<\/em> and as inhabitants of the institution. Prince Siegfried appears as a compassionate young doctor striving to heal through patience rather than violence, while Rothbart emerges as the authoritarian professor who attempts to drive out \u201cevil\u201d through brutal medical practices and psychological control. Into this fragile world steps Odile \u2014 a mysterious woman dressed in black \u2014 who infiltrates Odette\u2019s dreams as the seductive Black Swan, threatening to steal away both her freedom and her imagined prince.<\/p>\n<p>Reality and hallucination gradually dissolve into one terrifying nightmare. Despite every desperate attempt to restore her sanity, Odette ultimately finds liberation not in the physical world, but within the boundless freedom of her visions \u2014 in her own eternal Swan Lake.<\/p>\n<p>The production also reflects the emotional struggles of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky himself, whose life was overshadowed by secrecy, anxiety, and recurring depression. In this interpretation, the White Swan and the Black Swan become manifestations of the composer\u2019s own inner conflicts: purity and passion, vulnerability and rebellion. Yet while in the classical ballet the swan symbolizes captivity, in this performance it becomes a symbol of freedom and redemption.<\/p>\n<p>A visually striking and emotionally charged production, <em>Black Swan<\/em> transforms the timeless story of <em>Swan Lake<\/em> into a contemporary ballet thriller of extraordinary intensity.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"The triumph of good over evil, of light over darkness.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended for audiences aged 16 and above.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"tab-14142\" class=\"sp-tab__tab-pane

September 5)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Margaret Island Open-Air Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>The energetic and inspiring ensemble!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The London Community Gospel Choir is the United Kingdom\u2019s first renowned contemporary \u201ctouring gospel choir,\u201d blending gospel music with various genres including pop, soul, jazz, R&amp;B, and classical music. Founded in 1982, they have performed with artists such as Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Gorillaz, and Kylie Minogue. The choir is known for its funky gospel sound, swing-beat, rhythm and blues, traditional and soulful arrangements, lively choreography, and vocal virtuosity.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, they planned a single concert performed by a 120-member choir before an audience of over a thousand. That one-time event turned into a permanent choir, which has been performing for more than 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>Following the success of their first concert, the choir received invitations to perform on television and radio, as well as at various corporate events across the UK and Europe. The group made their television debut on Channel Four's Black on Black, and The Guardian described them as \u201ccontroversial, professional, energetic, inspiring and uplifting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They recorded a version of OutKast\u2019s \u201cHey Ya!\u201d with Razorlight, appeared on Will Young\u2019s debut album From Now On, and sang on Blur\u2019s hit \u201cTender.\u201d They also featured on Erasure\u2019s 1995 album and on Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds\u2019 2005 double album Abattoir Blues\/The Lyre of Orpheus. Additionally, they appeared on the tracks \u201cDon't Get Lost in Heaven\u201d and \u201cDemon Days\u201d on Gorillaz\u2019s Demon Days album. The choir has also worked on music with Paul McCartney, Elton John, Westlife, Elkie Brooks, Tori Amos, Drumsound and Bassline Smith, Madonna, Paper Route, Dermot Kennedy, Gregory Porter, The 1975, and Brockhampton.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n            <!-- Custom Data Fields -->\r\n            \r\n            <!-- Links Module -->\r\n            <div class=\"mec-event-social mec-frontbox\">\r\n     <h3 class=\"mec-social-single mec-frontbox-title\">Share this event<\/h3>\r\n     <div class=\"mec-event-sharing\">\r\n        <div class=\"mec-links-details\">\r\n            <ul>\r\n                <li class=\"mec-event-social-icon\"><a class=\"facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmargitszigetiszinhaz.hu%2Fen%2Fevents%2Flondon-community-gospel-choir%2F\" onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href, &apos;&apos;, &apos;menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=500,width=600&apos;); return false;\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><i class=\"mec-fa-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li class=\"mec-event-social-icon\"><a class=\"twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmargitszigetiszinhaz.hu%2Fen%2Fevents%2Flondon-community-gospel-choir%2F\" onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href, &apos;&apos;, &apos;menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=500&apos;); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tweet\"><i class=\"mec-fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li class=\"mec-event-social-icon\"><a class=\"linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fmargitszigetiszinhaz.hu%2Fen%2Fevents%2Flondon-community-gospel-choir%2F\" onclick=\"javascript:window.open(this.href, &apos;&apos;, &apos;menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=500&apos;); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Linkedin\"><i class=\"mec-fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li class=\"mec-event-social-icon\"><a class=\"email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=LONDON COMMUNITY GOSPEL CHOIR&amp;body=https%3A%2F%2Fmargitszigetiszinhaz.hu%2Fen%2Fevents%2Flondon-community-gospel-choir%2F\" title=\"Email\"><i class=\"mec-fa-envelope\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>            <\/ul>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n            <!-- Google Maps Module -->\r\n            <div class=\"mec-events-meta-group mec-events-meta-group-gmap\">\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <!-- Export Module -->\r\n            <div class=\"mec-event-export-module mec-frontbox\">\r\n     <div class=\"mec-event-exporting\">\r\n        <div class=\"mec-export-details\">\r\n            <ul>\r\n                <li><a class=\"mec-events-gcal mec-events-button mec-color mec-bg-color-hover mec-border-color\" href=\"https:\/\/calendar.google.com\/calendar\/render?action=TEMPLATE&amp;text=LONDON+COMMUNITY+GOSPEL+CHOIR&amp;dates=20260904T200000Z\/20260904T220000Z&amp;details=%0A%0A&amp;location=\" target=\"_blank\">+ Add to Google Calendar<\/a><\/li>                <li><a class=\"mec-events-gcal mec-events-button mec-color mec-bg-color-hover mec-border-color\" href=\"https:\/\/margitszigetiszinhaz.hu\/en\/?method=ical&amp;id=1307\">+ iCal \/ Outlook export<\/a><\/li>            <\/ul>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n            <!-- Hourly Schedule -->\r\n            \r\n            \t\t\t<!-- Booking Module -->\r\n            \r\n            <!-- Tags -->\r\n            <div class=\"mec-events-meta-group mec-events-meta-group-tags\">\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/article>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>\r\n\/\/ Fix modal speaker in some themes\r\njQuery(\"#mec_skin_8406 .mec-speaker-avatar a\").on('click', function(e)\r\n{\r\n    e.preventDefault();\r\n\r\n    var id = jQuery(this).attr('href');\r\n    lity(id);\r\n});\r\n<\/script>                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div><!-- toggle item end -->\r\n                    <\/div><!-- toggles wrap end -->\r\n                            <\/article>\r\n            \t\t\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"mec-skin-list-no-events-container mec-util-hidden\" id=\"mec_skin_no_events_1453\">\r\n        No event found!    <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1454","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"<title>2026 programs archive -
