This time the quartet, featured on European jazz stages regrettably only rarely, is rounded up to a sextet by Rudi Mahall from Germany, often mentioned as “the best bass-clarinettist of the world” and one of Europe’s most demanded viola player, Szilárd Mezei from Vojvodina.

Tickets are available for 1500 HUF on the spot, in the national JEGYPONT network of Interticket and online at a JEGY.HU.

Seating at the Opus jazz Club can only be guaranteed in case of a table reservation.
