Poulenc: Stabat Mater Verdi: Four hymns For more information about the concert and to buy tickets can be found here. Gabriel Fauré's Requiem was inspired by his father's death and his mother's death, originally consisting of five movements for choir, chamber orchestra, organ, soprano, and baritone solo. Later, he added additional movements. A large-orchestral version was also prepared, but it abstracted the funeral mass from church liturgical performance. Francis Poulenc composed the Stabat Mater in 1951 for soprano solo, mixed choir, and orchestra after the death of a friend. The work, based on a mediaeval text, has twelve short movements with colourful transitions between gloomy, light, and frivolous characters. It was presented at the Strasbourg festival and received great response in Europe and the US. Verdi's Quattro pezzi scacri is a loose cycle of works created between 1861-1897. The works include Ave Maria, Stabat […]

Easter in Debrecen

Easter is an important and widely celebrated holiday in Hungary, deeply rooted in both religious traditions and folklore. The holiday typically falls on a Sunday between late March and early April, depending on the lunar calendar, and it marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ for Christians. Easter Sunday is the most significant day of the Easter celebrations in Hungary. Many Hungarians attend church services to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The week leading up to Easter Sunday, known as Holy Week, is a time of reflection and religious observance. Special church services and processions are held during this period. In Hungary, Easter Monday is known as "Húsvéthétfő" or "Ducking Monday" (locally called "Vízbevető"). It is a unique Hungarian tradition where boys playfully sprinkle or even "duck" girls with water, often accompanied by a light verse or rhyme. In return, girls may offer decorated eggs or treats to the boys. This custom symbolizes the cleansing and renewal of life associated with spring. The holiday provides an opportunity for families to come together, enjoy special meals, exchange Easter eggs, and participate in the joyful spirit of the season.

Wonders of Debrecen in photos and paintings

Approaching the city day, photographer for the Wonders of Debrecen page Péter Károlyi, and painter Adrienn Nagy will exhibit their works in a joint exhibition on the 4th of April at Benedek Elek Library. Adrienn was very impressed by Péter's photos, and Péter says that it is a great honour for him that the painter was "inspired by his photos and, as a result, creates beautiful paintings of the city". The first picture, based on Péter's photo, depicts the Small Reformed Church, and the original photo will still be on display at the exhibition. The joint exhibition will be the 19th in sequence on Adrienn Nagy's career, but she is waiting for it just as enthusiastically as Péter, who is also happy because this is the first exhibition at which the Debrecen Wonders page will debut its photos. For Adrienn it is a great pleasure  that since her friends see the city again in my paintings, according to their own admission, they walk the streets much more attentively. Péter says although they boast more than 47,000 followers, many do not know who took the photos. This anonymity is now removed, and you can get to know me, the person behind […]
