In music, the journey is often as exciting as the destination. Béla Bartók celebrates Budapest’s birthday with a dance carnival. Another Hungarian, Peter Eötvös, puts percussionists in the role of poets in the magical Speaking Drums work, which now receives its Finnish premiere under conductor Marc Albrecht and spectacular percussionist Marianna Bednarska.
