Birthday Concert

 

The concerts of the versatile performer, songwriter and poet Tamás Szarka represent the very best of Hungarian culture, which nourishes the roots of his music. His performance style contains the ancient power of the ‘táltos', the Hungarian shaman, while he has been able to reinvent himself from album to album and concert to concert, always speaking to the people of today. For this birthday concert, he will provide us with a true taste of his art. Tamás Szarka's career has remained unbroken for four-and-a-half decades. His thought-provoking songs are entertaining yet also inspire profound sentiment and delight. The special guest for the evening, the opera singer Erika Miklósa, will perform alongside Szarka, his band, and the Danube Symphony Orchestra.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest

When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.


The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
