0VERSEAS TOURING NOW BACK TO BUDAPEST!

David Helfgott only gives a few solo concerts thoughout a year. This time he came to Budapest for the fourth time as a guest at the Grand Synagogue on the Dohany Street. The “Shine Budapest!” concert was held on Sunday, March,17. 2024 at 6 p.m. with around 4000 or more people on the spot. The music of Helfgott pianists lovers fully filled the Synagogue.

It was a breath-take-away Concert! He bound on stage like an excited child … chatting incessantly to himself … or could it be to the higher beings above!?! He was wearing a turquoise satin shirt (a Cossack dancer probably wear.) Its sheen reflects his enthusiasm. A few times looked to his right to see his audience beyond the glare of the spotlight. Assume his “Thumbs up!” is his trade mark I guess. He grins, exuding sheer joy. Then he sits at the Steinway and begins to play. Eyes open, we see a man who embraces not only the music, but the audience. He chatters nonstop, incorporates his version of singing along with the music. He is clearly having the time of his life. He sits upright. Then his back is hunched as he leans over, his face almost touching the keys. At the end of each musical piece, he jumps to his feet, grins broadly and bows hyperactively as he effusively thanks his audience. “Thumbs up!” again. He does not speak inbetween pieces. Not in the normal accepted sense. But there is no shortage of communication, albeit the language is somewhat different. There is such generosity of spirit and emotion on display. Everyone in the audience senses it. Men wearing suits, jeans and tattoos; ladies in stilettos, boots and sneakers; wide-eyed youngsters. We were hypnotized by the spell of Helfgott magnificant pianist and making him also so happy on this special night in Budapest.

Two hours later, after a standing ovation, streamers, the audience demanded the encore with minutes of standing ovation, then we witness and sharpen our ears to the Sword Dance (Khachaturian).

The National Museum pays tribute to André Kertész with three special exhibitions.

March, 23. and September, 22. 2024.


The Hungarian National Museum will be organizing a series of exhibitions on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the birth of the world-famous photographer André Kertész. At the exhibitions a selection of Kertész pictures bought in New York in 2021. These present never-before-seen pictures at 3 locations: @ Esztergom’s – Balassa Museum, @ Hungarian National Museum – Budapest and @ Robert Capa Center – Budapest.

After his emigration to Paris in 1925, André Kertész returned home several times, opened several exhibitions. A memorial museum bearing his name was created in Szigetbecs from the photographs he gave in Hungary shortly before his death.

This time, the focus of the National Museum’s exhibition series is not the reminiscing artist, but a young man born in Budapest on July 2, 1894, who was still searching for his way for a long time. He spent his childhood in Teleki tér and then Népszínház utca (both streets located in district VIII. Budapest) and also spent a lot of time with his relatives in Szigetbec and Tiszaszalka. and as a soldier he could visit almost every corner of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Loves and passions, danger to life, and the boredom of being a clerk were all part of the class. He moved to Paris at the age of 31, but he did not come with an empty bag. Our series explores the background of this launch and presents it to visitors for the first time.
In 2021, the sales contract for “André Kertész’s photo collection” covered a total of 1,163 pictures, the majority of which were taken before 1925. These are: 943 contact copies, 59 larger vintages, 151 Polaroid photos, 9 personal photos and a collage. After the purchase, was carried out a condition assessment of the photographs at the National Museum. The museologist of the Historical Photo Gallery, historian Éva Fisli, dealt with the registration of the photographs. In the last decade, she was able to research several times in the Kertész archive in France, and the documents she got to know there helped her clarify inaccuracies related to Kertész’s youth. She undertook latter as the curator of the exhibition series that will be shortly to start.

Dohány Street Synagogue
Sunday – 6 p.m. – March,17. 2024.

Herald News … How about to spend an evening where musical fesco in which romance and pasion unite together with returning of the world-renowned Australian pianist, David Helfgott to the Capital of Hungary, where else than @ the Dohány Street Synagogue.

With his unparalleled talent and captivating performance style, Helfgott has left memorable
footprints on numerous international stages. The brilliance of piano artistry will shine offering the audience an uplifting experience of brilliant piano playing for all age to the audience.

The evening will be centered around exceptional, immortal masterpieces such as Chopin’s intimate and profoundly emotional “Ballade No. 1 in G Minor” and the eternally relevant “Ballade No. 4 in F Minor,” guaranteed to stir passion and soul. Through Liszt Ferenc’s awe-inspiring creation, “Ballade No. 2 in B Minor,” we gain insight into the pinnacle of piano artistry. The etude “Un Sospiro” evokes the dazzle of love. Beethoven’s unforgettable, iconic “Appassionata,” his 23rd sonata, will resonate within the walls of the Synagogue, alongside Mendelssohn’s exceptional piece “Rondo Capriccioso.”Addinsell’s magnificent “Warsaw Concerto” evokespaints a intertwine, while Chopin’s “Op.24 in A Minor” etude, the “WinterWind” sweeps in like a true snowstorm, ushering piano imagery into spring. The power of art lives within the piano notes and in the depths only understood through the language of music.

About David Helfgott … Based on his life story, the biographical drama “Shine” received 7 Oscar nominations. Geoffrey Rush, who portrayed David Helfgott, won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor! In 1996, the international release of the Oscar-winning film “Shine” brought renewed attention. As a result, Helfgott’s performance of Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto became the best-selling record of the period in Australia, the UK, and the United States. In October of that year, David Helfgott made history with four consecutive sold-out concerts at the Sydney Opera House. He then embarked on a worldwide tour, performing in numerous cities in the USA and Canada, including the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall, before returning to London’s Royal Albert Hall. Since then, Helfgott has been regularly touring worldwide, appearing at the Beijing Music Festival, Vienna’s Musikverein, Copenhagen’s Tivoli Koncerthall, London’s Barbican Centre, Austria’s Erl Festival Hall, and frequently performing at the Sydney Opera House.

Born in Melbourne, he demonstrated exceptional piano talent as a child, winner in the state finals of the ABC Instrumental and Vocal Competition six times. At the age 17, he began studying with Alice Carrard, a student of Bartók and István Thomán, Liszt’s pupil. Two years later, he traveled to London to study at the Royal College of Music under Cyril Smith’s guidance. Smith, with 25 years of teaching experience, considered Helfgott the most brilliant student and likened him to Horowitz in both technical skill and temperament. During his time in London, he won several awards, including the Dannreuther Prize for the performance in a competition concert, for his rendition of Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto. While facing increasing emotional instability and mental agitation towards the end of his stay in London, the 1970s marked a period of frequent hospitalizations. He returned to the concert stage in the 1980s. He then embarked on a worldwide tour, performing in numerous cities in the USA and Canada, including the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall, before returning to London’s Royal Albert Hall. Since then, Helfgott has been regularly touring worldwide, appearing at the Beijing Music Festival, Vienna’s Musikverein, Copenhagen’s Tivoli Koncerthall, London’s Barbican Centre, Austria’s Erl Festival Hall, Sydney Opera House.

Organizer’s kind request is to the visitors must adhere to Jewish religious regulations during the concert. Men are required to enter and stay with covered heads. Most probably because the weather is still in the mood of late wintertime, anyway women should have their shoulders covered upon entry and throughout their stay in the syganogue building.”

The concert is organized by Green Stage Production.

Pharmacist of the Year & My Favorite Pharmacy Campaign 2024.

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

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Since 2011, the National Association of Private Pharmacists, with the cooperation of the Hungarian Pharmaceutical Society, has been announcing awards for pharmacists and pharmacies every year. This year, reached its 14th occasion.

The press gathering was held at one of  Budapest most attractive roof top 7th floor presentation hall at the Aria Hotel – Budapest. Were present Dr. Bálint Mikola – founding president of the National Association of Private Pharmacists, Dr. Antal Samu – Founding President of the Professional Committee of Pharmaceutical Care, Prof. Dr. Gábor Halmos – Managing Director of Nero Solution Ltd. – University Teacher, Dr. El Koulali Zakariás – Vice President of the Hungarian Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dr. Lajos Hodossy – Managing Director of Roche Magyarország Ltd.

First speaker was Dr. El Koulali Zakariás – Vice President of the Hungarian Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences, who pointed out that the aging population of the developed world and the problematic above age 65 brings hugh attention to the professionals  with patients taking of 15 pills a day., a real killer. Today there are the number of 3000 pharmacies around Hungary … (taking in mind the number of pharmacies of Hungary which lies  within 93030 square kilometers, and roughly has 9,730,526 inhabitants.)

The aging population of the developed world and the problematic above 65 of age taking a dozen pills/day. The area of Hungary is 93,030 square kilometers, and 9,730,526 people have 3,000 pharmacies. During the presentations Dr. Samu Antal made a remarkable statement that “Not important to live for the age of 90 with struggling pains all over.” The goal is to live healthy without pains and not to “eat” more-and-more  unessesary drugs! Globally, 50% of the drugs are badly taken… causing undesired effects.

Dr. Bálint Mikola told, it is rare to find such a wide-ranging tender, which covers every corner of the country from East-and-West, from micro-regions to specialist care institutions. This definitely encourages the organizers that these applications and applicants should be embraced, presented given a podium, so that we can make these valuable ideas that they have developed into public property. This is especially important today, when we see the struggles of the health care system, therefore if we combine our efforts, we may have opportunity to help improve the situation and patient care. Also emphasized that patient care is burdened. He gave an example of a previous professional visit to Ireland, whereas, the doctor and the pharmacist work closly together, they constantly consult and support guidelines to the family doctor to cure the patient’s health being. Of course, this is achieved by the patient replacing his medication at the same pharmacy. It often happens that he/she takes 15 different medicines/day and because of this, his/her health condition does not improve due to the interaction of the medicines.

Dr. Lajos Hodossy – Managing Director of Roche Hungary highlighting the importance of personalized pharmaceutical care changing benefit of the patient. This would be a huge opportunity in healthcare for patients in Hungary as well, so it would not “poison the patient” with unnecessary side-effect medicines. 

In the “My Favorite Pharmacy” contest, the patients can directly form their opinion on the pharmacy’s work with their vote, which (in contrast to the other award) will qualify the work of the entire pharmacy. By the end of the voting, the pharmacy with the most votes will be the winner and can bear the honorary title of My Favorite Pharmacy. The undisclosed goal of the initiative is to better introduce and recognize pharmaceutical work. Many people probably remember, for example, that during the COVID epidemic, when most health care facilities were forced to close, but at the same pharmacies remained open continuously and, in addition to dispensing preparations, also helped those who came to them with professional advice.

With the “Pharmacist of the Year” award, the organizers goal is to recognize a professional who is not only popular among their patients (laymen), but who can also demonstrate outstanding professional performance, so a professional application that elaborates on one of the 10 possible topics also required. The application is open, all active pharmacists can participate. The applications are judged anonymously by the members of the professional jury, and the award ceremony is to be held at the XXXIV Private Pharmacists National Congress. Members of the professional jury: Dr. Bálint Mikola – Honorary president of the National Association of Private Pharmacists, Prof. dr. Éva Szökő – Public health expert – President of the Hungarian Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Prof. dr. Ildikó Csóka – Director General of Strategy at the University of Szeged – Head of Department,  Prof. dr. Gábor Halmos – Deputy dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Debrecen – Head professor, Dr. Antal Samu –  Founder of pharmaceutical care in Hungary.

Partly in the spirit and taking into account the high quality of the projects and the professional interest, the Judging Committee together with the organizers published the updated projects of the previously awarded pharmacists in the form of a separate, printed publication told Prof. Dr. Gábor Halmos – Managing Director of Nero Solution Ltd. – University Teacher.

On the website https://www.evgyogyszeresze.hu/ (Hungarian) everyone can nominate and vote for the pharmacist they think is the best. After summarizing the proposals received, the jury will ask the professionals who receive the most proposals (votes) to submit a professional application, and during this coming Fall will be chosen from among them. There are still 84 days left to vote!

Pasolini films … Life Trilogy plus an encore @Art+ Cinema Budapest

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

pasolini art cinema

In remembrance to Pasolini’s birth on February 29, 2024., at the Art+ Cinema, operated by the Pannónia Entertainment Ltd. organizing a series of festive retrospective screenings.

Pier Paolo Pasolini was an Italian poet, film director, writer, screenwriter, actor and playwright. He is considered one of the defining public intellectuals in 20th-century Italian history, influential both as an artist and a political figure. He started filming only at the age of thirty-nine. He sublimated his own personal questions, thus leaving us a round, rich, versatile legacy. Many still to-day do not understand his art and sarcasm.

The Trilogy of Life is the summary title of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s three films shot between 1970 and 1974: The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales, The Thousand and One Nights Flowers. All three works are based on classic collections of fairy tales and short stories created in the Middle Ages. Italian censorship also banned the Decameron and the Canterbury Tales for a while. The music consultant for the trilogy was Ennio Morricone. The powerful atmosphere of the films is largely due to the authentic filming locations and the mostly amateur actors.

Based on the well-known collection of short stories by Giovanni Boccaccio, the Italian-French-GSR co-production Decameron, presented in 1971, received the Silver Bear Award (special jury award) at the 1971 West Berlin Film Festival.

The Canterbury Tales, an Italian-French co-production presented in 1972 and shot based on Geoffrey Chaucer’s fragmentary collection of fairy tales, partly finished in verse, received the Golden Bear Award (the festival’s grand prize) at the 1972 West Berlin Film Festival.

Based on the well-known Arabic collection, Tales of the Thousand and One Nights, the Italian-French feature film with the same title, shown in 1974, won the special jury prize at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival.

All 3 films are therefore based on an important, recognized work that is still included in our literary canon. While the first two are basically related to the Greek-Judeo-Christian cultural circle; in the 3rd.  is embedded in Indus, Persian, ancient Mesopotamian, Jewish, ancient Egyptian, but mainly Arab beliefs and motifs.

It is interesting that Pasolini himself plays Chaucer and Giotto in the Canterbury Tales. In Decameron, the famous director thinks about the nature of our everyday sins and the origin of our guilt. “We have been repeating the same historical crimes for three thousand years, and this strengthens the suspicion that all of this follows from our culture.” – Cheyk: Utt

Pasolini’s last work, Salò, or the 120 days of Sodom, was created as the first chapter of an “anti-trilogy”.

Pasolini films at the Art+ Cinema from February 29 for four days.

Screening dates … February, 29. 8.30 p.m.  – Salo, or 120 days of Sodom, March, 1.  8.30 – Decameron, March, 2.  8.30  – Canterbury Tales, March, 3. 8:30 p.m. – Flowers of the Thousand and One Nights
