The Russian Music Festival will be held for the seventh time in three cities and five venues, under the artistic direction of pianist Marcell Szabó.  The theme of this year’s festival is “Friendships”, which will give an insight into the personal lives of great Russian composers and the sources of their inspiration. These friendships were not only human relationships, but also sources of artistic dialogue and mutual motivation. The varied program includes a distinguished line-up of artists, an evening concert, a family program and an exhibition. Rachmaninoff and Medtner mutually dedicated a piano concerto to each other. According to legend, Tchaikovsky and Saint-Saëns danced together in Moscow. At the same time, Tchaikovsky’s relationship with the Russian Five reveals the complexity of forging the musical identity of an entire nation, while the complex relationship between Stravinsky, Ravel and Debussy shows the cavalcade of the musical revolution of the early 20th century. These friendships were not only significant on a personal level but often influenced the development and evolution of universal musical styles and techniques, as music is not only a language without words, but also a bridge between different cultures and people. As in previous years, the festival is held in […]

MCC Debrecen Educational Center holds a lecture in English about the role of the family and the school on the 24th of March. Description: Teachers and parents share many goals. Both seek to educate, nurture and discipline children. However, this similarity hides crucial differences. Families operate in the private sphere of the home and are motivated by love for one another whereas teachers work in the public realm of the school and aim to ensure children master academic skills and gain subject knowledge. When we lose sight of these differences, tensions can arise.  Joanna Williams explores the changing roles of teachers and parents in raising children. She argues that confusion over responsibilities undermines adult authority in general, to the detriment of children, education and family life; and suggests a path towards resolution. Information about the event: The lecturer at the event will be the Founder and Director of the Cieo think tank, MCC Visiting Fellow, Joanna Williams, The presentation will be in English. The event is free to attend but registration is required.
