Taped live in November 2014 in Budapest’s historic Vigadó Concert Hall on the Danube River, "Zoltán Mága: From Budapest With Love" introduces the beautiful music of Hungary’s foremost violin virtuoso. Zoltán Mága has performed in concert halls throughout Europe and in arenas on five continents before audiences who embrace his classical crossover style and endearing personality. Zoltán and his guest ensemble perform a heart-rending and exhilarating selection of familiar waltzes, wonderful arias, and light classical pieces.
Zoltán’s special guests include world-renowned Albanian opera tenor Saimir Pirgu, Romanian soprano Valentina Nafornița, Russian soprano Natalia Ushakova, the 30-member Hungarian National Dance Ensemble, the Savaria Ballroom Dancers, the Szilver Ballroom Dance Group of Hungary, singers from the Budapest Operetta Theater, a 14-piece Budapest Gypsy Band and the Budapest Primarius Symphony Orchestra.
Viewers will also enjoy Budapest’s historic landmarks as Zoltán performs several violin classics in scenic locations around the city. Recognizable sights of Budapest’s rich culture and beauty include a fly-over of the Hungarian Parliament, the Hungarian National Museum, the iconic Chain Bridge, Fisherman's Bastion, a nighttime cruise down the Danube River and views of the city from high above Castle Hill.
Mága Zoltán is on Facebook, and you can watch him on YouTube.
