Musicus Artistic Director Trey Lee and Musicus Soloists Hong Kong (MSHK) traveled from around the world to Hungary to give a high-energy concert. MSHK’s bold interpretation of Béla Bartók’s works was informed by learning about folk dances and the Hungarian string band tradition, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The Hungarian composer had recorded and studied that tradition for many of his compositions. This online concert features highlights from the performance, which took place in the House of Music Hungary. 
 
Reflections on cultural heritage and parks also led to the pairing of the Budapest City Park, where the House of Music was built, and the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens: both are precious green spaces in their respective city centers and date from the second half of the 1800s.
