Lusine Grigoryan and the neverending Hungarian-Armenian dialogue

Two years ago during our interview, Levon Eskenian, leader of the Gurdjieff Ensemble, explained how they had to change their concert programme because his wife, pianist Lusine Grigoryan, was not allowed to travel to Budapest in the midst of the pandemic. Time did justice to her, however, as she will...

From East to iLand: history of a Hungarian progressive rock band

There is an island. More precisely, there is The Island. It is where past and future meet, and even get along well. Don't search for it in the lake or the sea, rather look and listen inside yourself: so when you see it, you will recognise it immediately by the...

The Great Hungarian Songbook 3 is coming soon in Budapest

The Great Hungarian Songbook 3, Müpa, 6 December 2022, 7pm The Great Hungarian Songbook, a series started by Müpa Budapest in 2014, sounds a bit like nostalgic and retro. However, if you peek into what is planned for the upcoming concert, you can see how contemporary it actually is –...

Tcha Limberger learned Hungarian to play Hungarian music

I hope I won’t make multi-instrumentalist musician Tcha Limberger’s wife too angry with me if I admit: I fell a bit in love with her husband’s voice. Partly because of its soft sound, which is also useful for singing, and partly because he, a non-Hungarian, speaks my native language totally...

Honorary Hungarian Uri Caine plays the Bartók Project with friends

There was a time when musicians kind of felt obligated to create their own versions for jazz standards. Then there was a time when playing covers seemed like a lack of originality. Nowadays, luckily, those days are gone and nobody cares if a new band becomes famous with a good...

Mezőség, which is between the cities Cluj-Napoca, Gherla and Dej, looks barren but in fact has a rich cultural life. We were asking director Zsolt Juhász about the...

Víkingur Ólafsson: Hungarians are everywhere in my career

I’m catching pianist Víkingur Ólafsson for an interview during his tour in Los Angeles to discuss his newest album, Mozart and Contemporaries, and the related concert in the Müpa on 22 September. Despite the time zone difference (he’s sitting in front of Zoom at 8 am while I sip my...

Cédric Eeckhout’s message to Hungarian PM – what is to be half Flemish, half Walloon?

It’s a rare moment for me to start an English-speaking interview with a Hungarian joke. Yet I couldn’t help it this time. The joke is about the conscription of new soldiers, with a sergeant shouting: “Line up! Flemish on the right, Walloons on the left!” Then a Hungarian immigrant (in...

How the Hungarian National Philharmonics saved the day for Philippe Herreweghe

The last few months were so weird. Like some hybrid species from mythology, there were pandemic restrictions and there weren’t because “economy has to work”, and economy worked and didn’t work because “the virus has to be stopped”. Until recently, it seemed like even theatre plays, concerts and other mass...

Péter Eötvös is internationally well-known and acknowledged, and he’s even Artist of the Year at the Müpa (he will perform with the Hungarian National Philharmonics, and conduct his own pieces soon). He’s kind of a headliner whose name makes audience pay attention. There is another name, though, on the margin...
