Reformed College of Debrecen Kálvin tér 16, Debrecen, Hungary

The new exhibition of the Museum of the Reformed College of Debrecen was opened under the title “Golden Glass to the form of Debrecen” on the 21st of June. The exhibition includes masterpieces by three members of the Büttösi family. In the 18th century, István Büttösi, a master jeweller, and his two sons György and István also worked for the church.  The ornate chalices and bread bowls are not decorations, but are still used for worship and communion. The unique and priceless 300-year-old creations of the Büttös goldsmiths are on display together for the first time. “Many of the works are on display in churches. Here, too, about forty objects come from forty congregations, and these congregations use these beautiful, centuries-old objects. They don't see them as artistic treasures, but as an instrument linked to the Lord Jesus, to their Christian faith," the museum's director Dávid Csorba says.

Krisztián Budai’s Solo Conga Evening

DESz24 Batthyány u. 24., Debrecen

A special programme entitled “ The conga player” awaits those interested in music and theatre on Wednesday the 26th of June from 19:00 at the Desz24 club on Batthyány Street.  Krisztián Budai, an excellent musician from Debrecen and his solo performance is half theatre, half music, a "one-man show". As Krisztián Budai writes about his performance: "A little bit of music, including percussion instrumental music, a little bit of theatre, a little bit of life, a slice of myself, of my life. A one-man show, I call it a life story. Questions, reflections on life, self-reflections, problem posing, and maybe some answers or just more questions. In the process of writing, it became clear to me that it would not be enough to put in generalities, without my own tastes, my own insights, or even my own lived experiences, this whole fabric would not work. Through the questions, problems and stories we can learn about ourselves, our own lives or our patterns. So if you come, you are guaranteed to get a big dose of percussion music, a big dose of the percussionists' lives, and a big dose of me and my stories". The event is free, but a supporter […]
