Joint Exhibition entitled “Bird Bone Wonders” opened at Elméleti Galéria

Elméleti Galéria Egyetem tér 1., Debrecen

“Bird bone wonders” joint exhibition of photographer and taxidermist opened in Debrecen showcasing exhibitors' love for nature. For many years, Professor Csaba Tóth directed the work of the Urology Clinic, and his medical work, surgeries, publications, books and lectures have made him renowned at home and abroad. The high standard of his medical work was matched by the high standard of his work as a photographer.  Several photo albums of his have been published and the photographer, who was awarded the László Holló Prize, has had solo photo exhibitions in many cities. Albert Krisztián from Karcag belongs to a completely different generation, who started working with preparation as an environmentalist and nature walker, and not with any success, as he is now the owner of the European championship title. The exhibition was  opened on the 21st of June  by Cultural Manager Viktor Csaba Kozák, The Monteverdi Choir of the University of Debrecen, conducted by Ildikó Takács and István Pazár, accompanied by István Pazár on piano.

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 […]
