Pearls 1 – Concert of Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra

Pásti Street synagogue 4 Pásti Street, Debrecen, Hungary

The Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra's chamber orchestra concert is conducted by the ensemble's permanent conductor, Tibor Bényi  in the synagogue on Pásti Street on 28th October from 7 p.m. The best-known work of Franz Schubert's chamber music oeuvre is probably the piano quintet in A major called "The Trout". The reason for using the distinctive name was the fourth movement, which is none other than a series of variations composed on the theme of his previous song (Die Forelle). By the way, the composer also composed instrumental versions for four other songs. In his score for the Pisztárng quintet, made in 1819, Schubert does not use the usual formation of two violins, viola, accordion, and piano, but abandons the part of the second violin and enriches the bass by using the double bass. (Incidentally, one of Johann Nepomuk Hummel's works provided a sample for this solution.) The order of movements of the nearly forty-minute work also differs from the usual one, in that the titular series of variations is added to the classic (fast-slow-dance-movement-finale) pattern  almost as an extension. Incidentally, the idea for the arrangement of the song came from Sylvester Paumgartner, a wealthy amateur cellist who lived in the Upper […]

Modern Drama “Finale” with English Subtitles

Csokonai Fórum Csapó utca 30, Debrecen, Hungary

“Finale”, a modern drama about the devil of the social media, will be played with English subtitles on October 30 from 7 p.m. in the Árpád Kóti Hall of Csokonai Forum. A YouTube channel caught the attention of the writer and director, Andrea Pass and prompted her to write:  "I started watching the videos because there was something deeply disturbing about it, I wanted to understand it. What this particular channel conveys for many is the desired perfection, beauty, prosperity, love, and harmony. Then I ran into a TikTok actor, which is the other end of the scale of self-centred content producers, the kind of media person who, thanks to his spectacular vulnerability and fallibility, quickly became the target of the viewers. These two endpoints made me interested in how I can portray them as the two endpoints of an almost mythical story in a drama. The third "protagonist", the socially vulnerable boy who is always searching for the truth, who is sold by commercial television as a stupid child, is somewhere in the middle of the story”, she explains. This is how the strange universe of social media characters is assembled, which does not let the viewer's attention fade. […]
