About the event 'Hungarian State Folk Ensemble'
The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble presents their great show combining folklore with classical music at the Theatre Budai Vigado in Budapest.
The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, regarded as one of the best in Hungary, was established in 1951. It aims to present authentic folk music and furthermore to preserve the Hungarian folk dances and traditional costumes of Hungarian-inhabited areas in their performances.
The ensemble consists of two orchestras and one dance ensemble - the Gipsy and the Folk Orchestra. In the last years, the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble has revitalised the culture of the Hungarian people, and their rich and colourful repertoire entitled the ensemble to be regarded as one of the top touring groups in the world. In earlier times, Hungarian folk music has inspired Liszt, Bartók and Kodály, whose compositions will be also performed by the Folk Orchestra and the world-famous Gipsy Orchestra in their concerts.
You will enjoy a very special evening with the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble and meet their heritage of Hungarian folklore and classical music.
