Presented by the Hungarian Cultural Center, New York
Nikolett Pankovits Sextet & The River Voices
Monday, May 20, 2019
7:30 PM
Zankel Hall
Inspired by her 2016 debut album “Magia”, Hungarian-born New York jazz vocalist Nikolett Pankovits re-imagines the melodies of Hungarian folk music by bringing together ensembles from jazz and world music interspersed with poems in English by actor Adam Boncz. Featuring a jazz sextet, Hungarian folk trio, and a vocal octet, this concert builds upon the field research of composers such as Bartók and Kodály, melding disparate musical worlds and confounding stylistic expectations.
