Áron Horváth, Cimbalom

In the organizer's words:

From Bach to jazz with a Hungarian twist

The cimbalom is a true chameleon instrument: like only the piano, the Hungarian dulcimer feels at home in all genres and styles. And so does Áron Horváth, who tours the continent's major concert halls as a "Rising Star" of the European Concert Hall Organization. With his World Music Quartet, the young cimbalom virtuoso will wander through jazz and folk music from Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria in the Elbphilharmonie.
