An evening at the Kertész Brewery – District VII., 24-28 Kertész Street – Budapest when and where the „Old” boxing buddies … amateur and professional athletes, champions, coaches, and domestic boxers the creams for decades had met.

György Gedó, retired Hungarian light-flyweight boxer competed in the 1968, 1972, 1976 and 1980 Olympics. Gedó won the gold medal in the light-flyweight division at the 1972 Munich Games; he won the gold medal match with a 5-0 decision. Gedó then competed in the 1976 and 1980 Olympics in the same weight class, but was eliminated in the quarterfinals both times. He was the European light-flyweight champion in 1969 and 1971.

Zsolt Erdei – alias: Bird – Hungarian former professional boxer who competed from 2000 to 2014. He held the WBO and lineal light-heavyweight titles from 2004 to 2009. Erdei won the Lineal and WBO light heavyweight titles from Julio César González by unanimous decision, and successfully defended the titles eleven times and the WBC cruiserweight title from 2009 to 2010. After announcing his retirement in January 2010 and thus relinquishing his claim as Lineal light heavyweight champion, Erdei decided to have more matches in 2011 in the USA and fought Samson Onyango and Byron Mitchell as his first opponents there. The Mitchell fight which was set up by Lou DiBella ended with Erdei knocking Mitchell out in the 6th round (TKO). Erdei is the first boxer from Hungary to have won a world title in two weight divisions. As an amateur, he won a bronze medal in the middleweight division at the 2000 Olympics. Most of Erdei’s matches during his professional career were promoted by Universum boxing.

István Kovács  nicknamed Ko-Ko  and/or sometimes called „The Cobra” – Hungarian retired world champion boxer. As an amateur he won the bantamweight gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics, and was a world champion at the 1991 World Amateur Boxing Championships in flyweight and at the 1997 World Amateur Boxing Championships in featherweight. As a professional he was a world champion, holding the WBO featherweight belt in 2001.

About 120 former and current boxers and specialists participated at the event, including Zsolt Erdei, President of the Hungarian Association of Boxing Associations, István Kovács – Ko-Ko, Olympic and World Champion, György Gedo gold medal champion in the light-flyweight division at the 1972 Munich Games, Norbert Növényi, Károly Csekő, Pál Totka, Gyula Alvics, Vilmos Jakab, György Mizsei, Ferenc Schubert, István Szikora, József Szakos… and many others.

At the event several rewards were received and a Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Jenő Svasz coach.

11th Marathon Day – Bernstein and American Music – MÜPA – Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , .

This week-end have had not already decided where, what, how to spend your your late morning hours and/or evening time!?!

MÜPA – 1095 District IX., 1. Komor Marcell Street

 

Below can choose from a variety of options just for the day … one day, eleven concerts, 500 minutes of pure music and an atmosphere like no other. Held in co-operation with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, and one of the most popular and anticipated annual events of Müpa Budapest, the Marathon 2018., puts on display the works of a given composer each season, their pieces played by the most intriguing musicians of the Hungarian music scene. Held at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall and the Festival Theater, the recitals start late morning and last until late in the evening each day.

Past instalments of the Marathon featured Tchaikovsky, Bach, Beethoven, Bartók, Mozart, Schubert, Dvořák and Stravinsky while last year, in 2016, we broke with tradition, showcasing two composers in Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann. This year, in 2017, the limelight was on Brahms. In 2018, the eleventh Marathon will focus on the Grand Master of the American Dream: Leonard Bernstein. And once again, we will go against tradition by showcasing the very best of 20th century American music.

On the day of the Marathon, Müpa Budapest will host eleven 45-minute long mini concerts. The chamber pieces will be performed in the Festival Theater, and the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall will be the venue for the orchestral pieces. Students of the Liszt Academy of Music will be performing at the Glass Hall throughout the day; attendance at these latter Glass Hall concerts is free of charge. In addition, those coming to the Marathon for more than music will be shown projection shows at the Müpa Budapest Auditorium and an exhibition in the foyer.

The ticket price for the mini concerts is 990HUF. Buy tickets for three mini concerts and attend a fourth for free of charge! This way you can listen to all 11 concerts for a total price of only 8,910HUF instead of the full price of 10,890HUF.

In order to take advantage of the Marathon discount online, add the tickets for all the performances you wish to see to your cart. In your cart, you can check – depending on the number of concerts selected – to which performance(s) you are receiving your tickets as a gift, i.e. at a price of ZeroHUF

Wheeldon: The Winters Tale – Pesti Vigadó – Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , .

Johan Persson/www.perssonphotography.com

Live broadcast from the Royal Opera House in London!

Pesti Vigadó – Chamber Stage

District, V.,  2. Vigadó Square

Wednesday,  8.15 p.m. February, 28. 2018. 

Shakespeare’s tale of love and loss becomes compelling dance drama in Christopher Wheeldon’s ballet adaptation, with music by Joby Talbot.

Ballet in prologue and 3 acts – including 2 intervals – live in Cinemas

Christopher Wheeldon – Artistic Associate of The Royal Ballet, created his adaptation of Shakespeare’s late great romance The Winter’s Tale for The Royal Ballet in 2014. Building on the success of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Winter’s Tale received ecstatic praise at its premiere, acclaimed by critics and audiences alike for its intelligent, distinctive and emotionally powerful story, told through exquisite dance. It is now widely judged to be a modern ballet classic.

The story follows the destruction of a marriage through consuming jealousy, the abandonment of a child and a seemingly hopeless love. Yet, through remorse and regret – and after a seemingly miraculous return to life – the ending is one of forgiveness and reconciliation. With powerful designs by Bob Crowley and atmospheric music by Joby Talbot, The Winter’s Tale is a masterful modern narrative ballet.

VOODOO PAPA & DONGÓ / RIPOFF RASKOLNIKOV DUO

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , .

February, 2. 2018.

8 p.m.

Voodoo Papa & Dongó
Blues, gospel, country, Hungarian folk

Fonó Music Hall

Dstrict, XI.,  3. Sztregova Street – Budapest

 

Szert Zsigmond and Fejér Simon Pál’s harmonica, drum, guitar and voice – seem offhand like the usual line-up for a band. But when Hungarian folk music’s iconic figure Szokolay Dongó Balázs joins their duo, a special blend of electric blues and Hungarian folk is born in a new formation: Voodoo Papa & Dongó.

Ripoff Raskolnikov … At the age of 18 Ripoff Raskolnikov set out for the world and travelled all over Europe as a street musician. From the beginning European folk music interested him, then gradually he became more and more influenced by songwriters with roots in American folklore, such as Bob Dylan, Tom Waits or even the music of the Rolling Stones. This iconic stage personality played in Hungary the first time in November 1987. Since then he has performed here countless times. Hungary is even one of his homes. His last album “Odds And Ends” was released in 2016. His songs cover the complete spectrum of human emotion: love, journey, everyday problems, desire, loss, quest for beauty and hunger for life. This evening he performs in a duo.
