New Directions in the American Polity

MCC Debrecen Piac u. 11-15., Debrecdne, Hungary

On the 5th of May, MCC Debrecen Educational Center will present a lecture in English titled “New Directions in the American Polity”. Description: Trump’s return and the rise of post-liberal political trends could fundamentally reshape the US polity. Will the traditional political order finally collapse and a new era begin? What will be the impact on the economy, on immigration, on social issues - and what role will actors like USAID and Elon Musk,who is shaping the global tech world and public discourse, play in this process? Post-liberalism is not just a theory, but is increasingly shaping political reality. But where does it come from and what future does it have?  The lecture will answer these questions, while also looking at US developments in the light of Hungarian political changes. Information about the event: The lecturer at the event is Daniel Whitehead, Fellow of the Budapest Fellowship Program. The presentation will be in English. The event is free to attend but registration is required.

The Music Revolution That Failed

Kodály Zoltán Music Secondary School and Music School Vár utca 1, Debrecden, Hungary

MCC Debrecen Educational Center is hosting a special event on May 7th, titled "The Music Revolution That Failed". Description: The MCC’s next event is a groundbreaking combination of keynote speech and concert. Andrew Balio, principal trumpeter of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, who has performed as a soloist with the Israel Philharmonic and the Boston Philharmonic, will take the stage not only as a musician but also as a thought-provoking speaker. What if classical music had gone in a different direction? Balio talks about this “what if” moment - and how it affects us today, musicians, listeners, institutions. Why is it worth revisiting Bach’s pieces with an instrumental pairing that rarely comes to the fore? In the second half of the evening, Bach’s well-known and rarely heard works will be reinterpreted for trumpet and organ. The concert will include chorales and sonatas that are well suited to Balio’s clear, technically precise playing. The programme is also professionally important, offering a rarely heard approach to the work of a well-known composer. This is not an evening of nostalgia, but of questions. And possibly an answer. Information about the event: The lecturer at the event is Andrew Balio, Principal Trumpeter at Baltimore Symphony […]
