💥 Inspired by the poetry and spirit of Hungarian poet János Pilinszky, 𝗦𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗶 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 brought together contemporary dance, poetry, and music in a complex, multidisciplinary performance that offered New York audiences a powerful and symbolic exploration of the universal themes at the heart of Pilinszky’s work.
🎶 The sound of Johann Sebastian Bach’s timeless masterpiece filled 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹’𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵 during 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝘀, where acclaimed American-Hungarian organist Bálint Karosi delivered a breathtaking performance of the complete 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝘂𝗴𝘂𝗲. The packed concert attracted organ enthusiasts, musicians, and leading professionals from the field to experience the unique concert - special thanks to John Cantrell for hosting this wonderful event.
🎭 We wrapped up the month with the USA debut of 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝘂𝗯𝗲, a witty and moving English-language production by the London-based Hungarian 𝗛𝘂𝗯𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆. Through the story of six lifelong friends, the performance explored universal themes of friendship, love, loss, and growing older—resonating with New York audiences and also with members of the Hungarian diaspora, who saw reflections of their own experiences in the story.
We could not be more thrilled that each event created the opportunity for people to experience Hungarian culture firsthand. The strong turnout and enthusiastic response showed that 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸 and remains a meaningful part of the city's vibrant and buzzing cultural life. 🗽
