Focused on the Viola

Viola recital

“Focused on the Viola” is Bélu’s original project , which reveals the unique possibilities of the viola as a solo instrument. In order to present its rich sonic potential, the project combines classical masterpieces, contemporary works and improvisation. It is a journey from traditional harmonies to modern tonal experiments, yet remains comprehensible and accessible to a wide audience.

Over the past two years, Bélu has worked hard to develop this concept and has created a program that oscillates between emotionally profound pieces and fresh, innovative moments. “Focused on the Viola” thus brings a new perspective on this fascinating instrument and pushes its perception beyond the usual classical repertoire.
