A day devoted to a single person, but one about a multitude of musical and artistic worlds. Because Frank Zappa [1940-1993] was not only an exceptionally gifted musician, drummer and guitarist, but also a composer, band leader, producer, graphic artist and film director. He wrote music for rock and jazz groups, for symphony orchestra and electronics, he directed short films and video clips, he designed his own record covers that acquired cult status and his own inimitable facial hair.
The Autumn Festival is evoking one of the most versatile figures in music history, the legendary daredevil of 20th century music, with leading Hungarian and foreign performers [including Zappa’s former fellow musicians].
