Saturday, September 13th, begins our 2025 Fall program series!

Our September program promises to be a treat fro lovers of Hungarian music. Entitled The Soulful Voice of Hungary: A Journey Through Klasszikus Magyar Nóta (The Classical Hungarian Art Song), the program will begin at 2 o’clock and will be held at the Hungarian Museum. Briefly, “Klasszikus Magyar Nóta”—recognized today as a Hungarikum—is a distinct and deeply expressive genre of Hungarian vocal music that bridges folk roots with classical performance traditions. This presentation offers an engaging journey through the emotional landscapes, cultural history, and artistic essence of this unique style. Through storytelling, images, and live performance, Emőke Armington will explore how these richly ornamented melodies have captured Hungarian identity for generations. Discover the social backdrop, poetic texts, and musical form of the “nóta”, and experience its enduring power to connect hearts across borders and time.
