Concert of Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra and Kodály Choir on the 20th of February

Kölcsey Center Bethlen u., 4026, Debrecen, Hungary

Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra and Kodály Choir with concert ‘Standing Together’ (Együttállás) awaits the audience on the 20th of February at 7.00 p.m. Program: Gershwin: Cuban Overture / R. Strauss: Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks op. 28. / G. T. Holst: Planets, op. 32 Contributors: Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra / Kodály Choir Debrecen (Director: Zoltán Kocsis-Holper) George Gershwin's Overture to Cuba is the result of a two-week holiday the composer spent in Havana in February 1932 and the hugely successful premiere of the work took place on the 16th of  August, 1932 at Lewisohn Stadium in New York. Richard Strauss's magnificent symphonic poem The Merry Pranks of Till Eulenspiegel was composed in 1894-95. In this 'rags-to-riches tale', the composer depicts the adventures and frolics of a dashing folk hero, Till Eulenspiegel, in almost all the expressive possibilities of late Romanticism. Gustav Holst's 'cosmic' piece, The Planets, is little known in our country, although it is one of the most popular orchestral works in the composer's native Britain. In addition to Grieg, Ravel and Richard Strauss, Holst's style was influenced by Hindu philosophy and English folk music. Conductor: Grigor Palikarov (Bulgaria) Ticket price: HUF 3500, HUF 2700 Tickets can be purchased at this link. […]

Eagle Day at Hortobágy

Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park Hortobágy, Petőfi tér 9, Debrecen, Hungary

On Hortobágy Eagle Day, organisers welcome visitors for a morning eagle ambush tour. The highly protected bald eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is the largest bird of prey that nests in Hungary. The wingspan can exceed 2 metres and the weight of the egg can reach 4-5 kg. Hortobágy is also important for golden eagles wintering in the Carpathian Basin, so in winter the domestic nesting stock is enriched with wintering specimens coming from the north and northeast. The walking tour takes visitors to places where eagles are most likely to be seen during the day, with a pair of binoculars, can observe the eagles and with a bit of luck get a brief insight into their behaviour and feeding habits. Visitors can of course also learn about the winter wildlife in the ponds. Suitable clothing, waterproof shoes and binoculars are recommended. Meeting time: 9.50 a.m.,  the Fisherman's Tavern, Hortobágy-Fish pond Programme duration: 10.00 a-m.-1.30 p.m. Distance: approx. 6 km Participation fee: HUF 2800/adult, HUF 2000/child and pensioner, HUF 6200/family (2 adults, 1 or 2 children) Date: 24 February, 9.50 a.m. Location: Hortobágy-Halastó Source: Programturizmus
