Advent in Pressburg
Music by Dohnányi, Hummel and Albrecht in the run-up to Christmas. BKIS and the international chamber music festival Konvergencie, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, have prepared a concert of works by exceptional artists associated with Bratislava as a gift for the Bratislava audience in the festive season of Advent.
