“Something new and harmonious can be created from the sum of the different parts. The members of the orchestra are all different, individual people. Yet our goal is to create something together that connects us and our audience. And that is harmony in heaven.”
It was with this aim that Zsombor and Gergely Tóth-Vajna, a group of young musicians from the antiquity era, founded their ensemble, which they christened Harmonia Caelestis, inspired by the collection of Pál Esterházy. Since its formation, the ensemble has performed in a variety of different formations, from large orchestral pieces to smaller chamber music productions.
Their repertoire ranges from Renaissance polyphony to the symphonies of Mozart and Haydn, with a special focus on the instrumental and vocal works of Purcell, Handel and J.S. Bach. Their first concert series featured Handel’s Opus 1 sonatas, with the ensemble’s wind and string players performing as soloists with harpsichord accompaniment.
In recent years they have performed in major concert halls and festivals in Hungary, with a special focus on the Esterházy Castle in Fertődi, where they are invited as regular guests every year.
