The Crescendo Summer Institute provides an excellent opportunity for concentrated work in the performing arts and provides assistance in preparation for exams and auditions.

Crescendo–on–the–Streets is the CSI’s most informal event. Teachers and students of the Summer Institute play in open spaces across town, this year in the Main Square of Tokaj. The concert will showcase vocal and instrumental solo and chamber group performances.

In the concert, 15 two-part and 15 three-part inventions, sinfonias, ideas and innovations of Johann Sebastian Bach’s will meet verses from the gospel, interpreted by András Kemenes.
