Spring Sneaker Ball Táncház - 2nd Annual
with Holdvilág Band
Csángó, Dunántúl, and Mulatós music
Saturday, May 3 - 4-6pm (family táncház)
8pm (táncház for all)
For all ages, the evening begins with family friendly fun with Hungarian folk music and activities by the Holdvilág Band.
From 8pm, we welcome all to join us for our Spring Sneaker Ball fundraising event, with sing-along mulatós nóták and dances from the Csángó and Transdanubian regions.
Experience the magical atmosphere that made Karády one of the greatest iconic performers of the 20th century, as her most beloved songs — including "Hamvadó cigarettavég" ("Smoldering Cigarette End"), "Mindig az a perc" ("Always That Moment"), and "Gyűlölöm a vadvirágos rétet" ("I Hate the Wildflower Meadow") — are brought to life once again with piano accompaniment.
Throughout the evening, not only will the artist’s beautiful songs be performed, but through photographs and film excerpts, we will also gain insight into the exciting and often tragic life of Katalin Karády. We will learn how she became the greatest star of the interwar period, how she bravely stood up for the persecuted during the Holocaust, and the personal sacrifices she made to remain true to herself.
Performed by: Nora Guncz, Zoltan Csadi, Olha Ponomarova
