THE ANCIENT LANGUAGE OF MUSIC

Zoltán Juhász musician (Egyszólam Band), ethnomusicologist, teacher (Liszt Acadamy) and physicist (Hungarian Acadamy of Science) is one of the most well-known and passionate experts of the Hungarian shepherds` instrumental and vocal musical tradition. He has been working on the computer analysis and modeling of h

idden connections in folk music for nearly 10 years. Zoltán Juhász is presenting these findings and the exciting prospects of this ongoing and ever-expanding study in his lecture entitled The Ancient Language of Music. The findings will be illustrated by many examples of these melodies, which will be performed by  Zoltán Juhász and his children, Réka Juhász on vocals and gardon, and Dénes Juhász on flute and fiddle.

Juhász Family together with dancers and musicians from Gyimes will present the culture of the Csángópeople. Irénke André, Csaba André and Lóránd Bodor dancers, and the fiddle player Henrietta Simon are the leading figures of the young folk dance and folk music scene in Gyimes. Due to their amazing work keeping the local knowledge and culture alive, they create a true continuity between the past and the rapidly modernizing Gyimes.
