'I see the gates of Heaven being open'
Date: 2007.07.21. 19:00
Márta Sebestyén - Bolya - Dongó trio
Religous and secular songs with folklore parallels from the world. The three artists' work started in Italy, as the world premiere of this composition was heard in the church of Redemptore in Venice.
The cultural traditions of the Carpathian basin brings you back to Europe's thousand-year old cultural history. During the centuries all the important western influence arrived to this territory and remained in the peoples' memory mixed up with their own habits.
In the eastern part of Europe Hungarians and their neighbours preserved a special European tradition, going back to ancient times, which was long forgotten in the western part of the continent.
Europe is the cradle of modern times. Its traditions are the roots of our present world.
It is most important for us to recognise and use freely our cultural inheritance which is connected in a hundred way.
Handed-down tradition confronted with written inheritance will give us the pleasure of a moral adventure. The lifeless characters, fragments of ancient melodies found on the cover of codices whose covers were made of left over paper bits and historical songs written down on primitive sheet music are brought back to life by the preserved archaic interpretation.
Our performance lines up those bits of the European past which were kept and developed by the Hungarian folklore.
