All’Ongherese – Hungarian style… Goulash, paprika, at best the csardas dance, or if we are cultured, folk music, Bartók and Kodály.

How did composers relate to Hungarian folk music in past decades and what is their attitude to it today? Adaptation, transformation, folk gestures. Allusions, instrumental improvisation. Folk performance styles and new-music techniques, jazz and world-music tendencies. The list of modern approaches to Hungarian folk music is endless. By spotlighting some of these alternatives, we would like to join the audience in seeking to discover whether a work will be different if its creation is inspired by disparate aesthetic motives. Because the works’ composers are extremely diverse – and not only considering the time when they were born.
