AHF PRESENTS: July 11, 2009 - The Tükrös Hungarian Folk Ensemble |
The concert will raise funds for the benefit of the sister Church of Dicsőszentmárton in Transylvania. More information will be available about the Dicsőszentmárton Church at the concert. The band will present archive video recordings and transcriptions from different areas of Hungary. The Tükrös Hungarian Folk Ensemble was founded in 1986 and today is one of Hungary’s most respected revival folk bands. They specialize in collecting authentic folk music from remote villages of Hungary and Transylvania, and from archival recordings, preserving and presenting this music in its most authentic form yet in a style most entertaining and suitable for all audiences. While they play folk music from all the areas of Hungary, their focus is on the areas of Szatmár (North-East of Hungary) and Mezőség (Transylvania). In the August of 2001 the ensemble received the Award of Young Masters of Folk Art from the Minister of the Cultural Heritage.
