Pera Museum welcomes a special concert by Metrum Ensemble Trio+ as part of Calculations and Coincidences.
The ensemble interprets classical and contemporary works with a unique approach, highlighting that music, like visual arts, contains structured and spontaneous elements. This special performance also features flutist Anna Rákóczy, daughter of Gizella Rákóczy, whose works are displayed in the exhibition.
The concert offers a musical journey from Western Europe to Hungary, inviting listeners to explore compositional masterpieces from the Renaissance to the present day.
The concert will take place on the 4th floor of the Pera Museum, in the hall where the exhibition Calculations and Coincidences is displayed. Tickets are 450 TL and can be purchased from Biletix or the Pera Museum reception on the concert day. Seating is unreserved. Pera Museum Friendship Program members may enjoy a 20% discount. The concert is without intermission and lasts approximately one hour.
About Metrum Ensemble
Since its debut in 2012, the Metrum Ensemble has been associated with a unique artistic vision and a consistent work ethic, characterising its significant musical achievements and long list of memorable concerts.
The art of the Metrum Ensemble evokes both playfulness and responsibility. The ensemble members are not afraid to become “co-authors” of classical works, as they perceive every musical act as a contemporary creative process. The musicians are equally attracted by the discovery of the past, playing classical oeuvres as music that has never been performed before, and interpreting the contemporary, performing new music as one belonging to us, waiting to be discovered. Their constant interest in collaboration with contemporary composers has resulted in more than forty world premieres.
The Metrum Ensemble is always eager to participate in “border-crossing” productions with other branches of creative arts and constantly draws inspiration from unique venues, such as museums, galleries, theatres and churches, that reveal new aspects of the performed pieces.
Temporary Exhibition
Calculations and Coincidences brought together three pioneers of algorithmic art—Vera Molnár, Dóra Maurer, and Gizella Rákóczy—through their works from the Hungarian National Bank Collection. The exhibition focused primarily on the profound influence of Molnár, who was unquestionably among the most significant names in computer art while tracing how the artistic explorations of Maurer and Rákóczy expanded the boundaries of abstraction through the integration of algorithms and mathematics.

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
Three people sleeping side by side. On the uncomfortable seats of the stuffy airplane in the air. Three friends. I’m the friend in the window seat. The other two are a couple, Emre and Melisa. I’m alone, they are together. And another difference. I’ve only closed my eyes. They are asleep.
Our Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition focuses on different generations of artists and art groups from the Balkan region. Throughout the exhibition, we keep sharing detailed information about the artworks. Take a look at Mark Požlep’s “Stranger than Paradise” video installation. Also you can check our interview with the artist on our YouTube channel!
