The Halmos Béla Program celebrates its 10th anniversary with a gala evening and through it honors the intellectual legacy of its namesake.
For decades, Halmos Béla worked tirelessly for Hungarian folk culture and the dance house movement. Both as a folklore collector and as a director of the urban revival movement, he carried out wide-ranging activities.
An unconventional concert will evoke the memory of Halmos Béla at the gala, where his former fellow musicians, friends, and students will also perform—people bound together by many memories, joint collecting trips, and musical sessions. At the concert, melodies from the most diverse sub-regions of the Carpathian Basin will resound, with performers from multiple generations taking turns on stage.

Performing will be Muzsikás, Csoóri Sándor and His Sons, Egyszólam, Gázsa band, and Bazseva band.
Program curator: Mohácsy Albert

Following the gala, the House of Traditions invites everyone to a dance house, which can be visited with a separate admission ticket.
