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 a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.

Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
