Duo SeRa 10 Presented by Liszt Academy

Initially, the joining of harp and saxophone may sound unusual but 10 years ago, in fact as a consequence of a completely random meeting, Anastasia Razvalyaeva and Erzsébet Seleljo immediately recognized that this instrumental combo could prove the basis for a long-term partnership between them. Through their duo they have presented numerous new works written specifically for them, or created exciting arrangements from earlier works. In 2014, they stepped up with their own concert series where they featured new compositions by contemporary Hungarian composers such as Péter Zombola, Márton Levente Horváth, András Gábor Virágh and Péter Tornyai. For this, their anniversary concert, the pair are also performing Barry Cockroft’s three-movement sonata originally written for soprano saxophone and piano and composed a decade ago. Many consider it to be the defining work of the 21st century contemporary saxophone canon.
