Jazz For You – Carnival Concert under the Enchantment of Jazz

Kölcsey Center Bethlen u., 4026, Debrecen, Hungary

The Steve Jazz Trio is made up of three teachers from the jazz department of the Béla Bartók High School of Music and Dance in Miskolc, who although excel primarily in the jazz genre, are also at home in the field of classical music. Pianist István Bundzik is a member and founder of several jazz formations: Fusio, Junior Art Quartett, Miskolc Dixieland Band, Click Jazz Band, and he tours the world's stages as a permanent piano accompanist of violinist Katica Illényi. Bass player Gyula Horváth, in addition to playing in symphonic and chamber orchestras, is a fan of the jazz genre, so the audience can recognize him mainly from such musical formations. Jazz drummer Gábor Kacsenyák does not stick to a single musical genre either, in addition to running a private drumming school, he also teaches classical percussion in several institutions, and appears on domestic stages in several light music ensembles. The light-hearted atmosphere of the concert will be one of the real treats of the carnival period, where both the audience who likes classical music and those who are attracted to jazz will find works that suit their taste. In addition to the jazz arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's Dongo, the […]

Kodály Philharmonia

Concert of Győr Philharmonic Orchestra

Kölcsey Center Bethlen u., 4026, Debrecen, Hungary

Professionalism, innovative solutions and international standards characterize the work of the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra, which provides world-class professional quality to its partners, audience, soloists and guest conductors. The band's performances were characterized by resounding success in almost all European countries, but on the most important music stages of Asia, in China, South Korea, and Taiwan, it also managed to win the recognition of both the profession and the audience. In the spring of 2009, the orchestra took part in a highly successful Far East and European tour with the legendary Italian film composer-conductor, Oscar winner Ennio Morricone. The Győr Philharmonic Orchestra's rich repertoire covers not only classical and traditional works, but it can also combine lighter genres with its professional skills. It simultaneously fulfills the role of a traditional large orchestra, a crossover film orchestra, an outdoor or gala orchestra, a smaller or larger chamber orchestra and possibly a concert brass band. Program: Sibelius: II. (D major) Symphony, Op. 43 Strauss: Death and Glorification Op.24, TrV 158 Contributor: Győr Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor:: Rajna Martin Tickets can be purchased at this link.

Exhibition of works by art teachers in Tócóskert

Medgyessy Ferenc Gimnázium Holló László stny. 6, Debrecen

An exhibition of works by art teachers from Debrecen will open soon in Tócóskert. The title is peculiar, but the location is familiar. The exhibition opens on the 9th of February and will run until the end of the month, the 29th of  February. As Károly Szabó, the art teacher of the Medgyessy High School, tells there is a bit of playfulness and, of course, information in the title of the exhibition opening in the  Medgyessy High School’s  Gallery at Angyalföld Square 7, which looks like this: 24209229. The first two digits are the year, followed by the month and the day.  The event is important for students and teachers alike. As the head of the institution, József Fekete, recalls, several projects have already been launched in the past in the spirit of ‘Master and Disciple’, and this kind of spirit will be present here too, although this time the exhibition space will be filled with the works of the art teachers.  In the case of the works, both colleagues and students have tried not to stop where the work is born, but to give the visitor more information, which brings them closer to the birth and interpretation of the […]

Exhibition “The Image of Colour, the Mystery of Image” opens in MODEM

MODEM art center 1-3 Hunyadi János Street, Debrecen, Hungary

MODEM's latest exhibition titled "The Image of Colour, the Mystery of Image" opens on the 9th of February. The exhibition presents a comprehensive selection of monochrome paintings from the Antal–Lusztig collection, which is one of the most important private collections in Hungary. The owner of the collection, which includes hundreds of domestic and international works, dr. Péter Antal started buying monochrome paintings in the mid-2000s, which have since formed an important segment of his collection. In the past decades, we have seen a small or large selection of monochrome works at numerous domestic and foreign exhibitions. Among other things, the importance of these exhibitions is given by the fact that, thanks to this exceptional collector's commitment, the spirit and heritage of monochrome painting lives on not only in individual works of art, along the lines of consistent creative endeavours, but also emerges from time to time in the public discourse on the occasion of exhibitions selected from the Antal–Lusztig collection. This time, a selection exhibition from the monochrome segment of the Antal–Lusztig collection, organised into 7+1 separate units, guides the visitor. Through the research of monochrome painters, it guides you through concepts of painting that are thought to be obvious, […]
