From Parasite to Squid Game – Jung Jaeil
The music to one of the most successful films of recent years and one of the most popular television series of all time were both scored by South Korea’s Jung Jaeil. The former is the Oscar- and Palme D’Or-winning film Parasite, directed by Bong Joon-ho in 2019; the latter is the series Squid Game, which is the most-watched programme ever on Netflix. Both feature Jung Jaeil’s distinctive, multi-layered music. A graduate of Seoul’s Jazz Academy, the composer is among the most innovative creators of film music and his eclectic palette has ample space for classical music (from Bach to Arvo Pärt) as well as pop music influences. At his first Hungarian concert, he will appear alongside the Budafok Dohnanyi Orchestra and several musical instruments from South Korea to perform his famous film music, and also some pieces from his solo albums.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
