This will be the Hungarian Heritage House’s tenth time ringing in the New Year with a festive gala programme. Taking the stage at Müpa Budapest once again will be a host of outstanding folk musicians and folk dancers here to share with the audience moments both intimate and elevated, once again proving that the beauty and meaning of our folk traditions, refined over the centuries, can also provide people of today with the strength they need to get through everyday life. The show draws not only from the lovely melodies of the Christmas season, from the songs of the various regions of Transylvania, name day greetings, as well as the carols sung around Zala County, but also evokes the artistic work of János Seprődi and Ferenc Farkas, in the 150th and 120th, respectively, anniversary year of their birth. The festive atmosphere we create will be one of heartfelt folk music compilations, Hungarian choral works and the most beautiful dances from our folk tradition.

The chief patron of the evening is Dr Tamás Sulyok, President of Hungary
