Eagle Day at Hortobágy

Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park Hortobágy, Petőfi tér 9, Debrecen, Hungary

On Hortobágy Eagle Day, organisers welcome visitors for a morning eagle ambush tour. The highly protected bald eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is the largest bird of prey that nests in Hungary. The wingspan can exceed 2 metres and the weight of the egg can reach 4-5 kg. Hortobágy is also important for golden eagles wintering in the Carpathian Basin, so in winter the domestic nesting stock is enriched with wintering specimens coming from the north and northeast. The walking tour takes visitors to places where eagles are most likely to be seen during the day, with a pair of binoculars, can observe the eagles and with a bit of luck get a brief insight into their behaviour and feeding habits. Visitors can of course also learn about the winter wildlife in the ponds. Suitable clothing, waterproof shoes and binoculars are recommended.

Mike Oldfield’s, The Tubular Bells Live in Concert in Debrecen

Főnix Hall Kassai út 28, Debrecen, Hungary

Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells - Live in Concert will be staged as part of a world tour to mark the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic piece at 8.00 p.m. on the 25th of February, in Főnix Aréna. Mike Oldfield's masterpiece is performed by a team of nine great musicians. The material for the two-part concert was compiled by the Artist, who this time performs the duties of music director, arranger and producer. Mike Oldfield will not personally participate in the world tour, the guitarist chosen by him will be in his band. But in the concert and in this wonderful music, it is not the guitarist personally the determining factor. He is only one of the nine musicians. The point is the epoch-making work itself, which started and "made" the Artist great. He laid the foundations of a new genre, but at the same time preserved his completely unique sound. The conductor of the performance is Oldfield's close work and creative partner, the renowned Robin Smith, already known from several other productions. The evening will be opened by the concert of Péter Müller Sziámi AndFriends as a guest. Tickets can be purchased via this link. Date:at 8.00 […]

This exhibition of major local artists at MODEM is not intended to be a complete overview of their oeuvres, but it aims to provide insight into the dominant themes, motifs and technical experiments that have defined the careers of these two artists, who have different temperaments.
