Fugato Orchestra biography
The orchestra was founded in 2000, with the aim of bringing classical and popular music closer together, enabling listeners of both genres to widen their perspectives. The blending of symphonic instruments with drums, bass guitar and synthesizer makes the instrumentation unique. The pieces include contemporary symphonic works, stylistic etudes, as well as compositions closer to jazz, rock, or electronic styles. The composer, Balazs Alpar, was born in 1982, in Budapest, Hungary. He began his musical studies at the age of six, and is currently enrolled at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, as a student of composition. Because of his interest in diverse styles he also studied jazz for a couple of years. His pieces, combining different styles, aim to retain classical approach despite a lighter character. This is most evident in the rhythmic and harmonic diversity, carefully elaborated voices, mood and emotional changes spanning the compositions.
