Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Trio Passacaglia skillfully blends old and new music in their concerts. With two vocal parts and a cello operating within nearly the same range, their repertoire prominently features Gregorian chant, ornate Eastern monophony, monody, and early medieval polyphonic harmonizations. However, it is their incorporation of contemporary sounds into these arrangements that distinguishes their performances from traditional historical interpretations. In addition to typically shorter, thematically interconnected pieces, they have been experimenting for several years with larger-scale, longer contemporary oratorical works. including performances at their previous Liszt Academy concerts of Péter Tornyai's compositionts Dixit and Passacaglia della morte. Their current follows a similar concept, Psalterium irregulare, a kind of irregular psalter book, a compilation of monophonic psalms from the early Middle Ages, psalm songs by unknown composers, Hildegard von Bingen, Perotinus, Monteverdi, Schütz, Salamone Rossi, and works by Hungarian composers composed for the ensemble.

The event is the rescheduled date of the cancelled concert on 21 November, and tickets for the original concert are valid.
