Janoska Ensemble live in Székesfehérvár

Experience Janoska Ensemble live on August 21st

The Janoska Ensemble is scheduled to perform at the Saint Anne Chapel in Székesfehérvár, Hungary on August 21, 2026. The ensemble is known for its innovative approach to classical music, blending elements of classical repertoire with influences from jazz, pop, and world music traditions. Their performances frequently feature virtuosic playing and a dynamic stage presence, often re-imagining well-known pieces with unexpected arrangements and improvisational elements. The group consists of four musicians – Duncan Ward (violin), Eddy Ward (violin/vocals), Peter Guyer (bass) and Alexey Kornienko (piano).

Saint Anne Chapel, located within Székesfehérvár Castle, holds significant historical importance. Originally constructed in the Gothic style during the 14th century under King Louis I of Hungary, it served as the royal chapel and mausoleum for several Hungarian queens including Isabella of Naples. Over centuries, it underwent Baroque alterations following Ottoman occupation in the 17th century. Extensive archaeological excavations and restorations took place throughout the 20th and 21st centuries to reveal and preserve its layered history. Today it functions as a cultural venue and monument showcasing medieval architecture and Hungarian royal heritage.
