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 […]

Concert of Trio Consort at Partium House

Partium House Piac Street 81, Debrecen, Hungary

The concert of the Trio Consort string trio in the Partium House will take the audience back to the 19th century on the 4th of July from 6.00 p.m. at Partium House. The music of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy represents the flourishing musical life of 19th century Hungary which  offered a rich and varied range of styles and genres, including opera, operetta, symphony and chamber music. The period was characterised by musical styles combining Romantic and Classical elements, with works full of deep emotion and spiritual richness, with themes of love, loss, passion and patriotism, while also reflecting the social and political events of the time. The music of the Monarchy was characterised by a close link between musical culture and political power. Musicologists and composers were highly respected, often enjoying the support of the elite due to their special status, and were present at coronation ceremonies, military parades and court balls. Music was therefore not just a means of musical expression, but an important element of history and identity itself, which continues to inspire and enrich Europe's cultural heritage today. The Trio Consort String Trio concert in Debrecen is a reminder of these times.  Programme: Ede Poldini: Palotás (solemn, slow […]
