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.

The annual press conference of Mapei SpA was held in the gorgeous environment @ House of Hungarian Music Budapest

Before the press conference, the representatives of the invited media were invited to the local Dome, where we took part in a Crossover-Classical-Contemporary-Electronic on an audiovisual journey.

After that awesome journey, about 50 people continued to their seat to the press conference hall. First, the CEO of Mapei SpA, Veronica Squinzi, talked about the background of the company which was founded by Rodolfo Squinzi– In the early days, it manufactured colored paints and materials for building coverings. In 1978, Giorgio Squinzi graduated in industrial chemistry, began internationalizing the company, both commercially and in terms of production, and opening their first small factory in Canada after supplying adhesives for installing the rubber surfaces used for the athletics tracks at the Montreal Olympics in 1976. Over the following decades the company expanded into Austria, United States, France and then the rest of the world, opening new branches and taking over other important brands, starting with Vinavil in Italy in 1994 and most recently culminating in its latest acquisition of Fili & Form. This growth strategy is connected with the need to manufacture adhesives and chemical products for the building industry within a 400–500 km radius of building operations to keep transport costs sustainable. MAPEI SpA currently operates 90 subsidiaries in 56 countries, operating through 83 manufacturing plants in 36 countries and each with its own quality control laboratory, and 31 research centers (including a corporate center) and in 20 countries employing 11,000 people. It operates a total of 100 representative offices.

After the general introduction, she turned to speak about Mapie’s today by saying the sustainable development is the most important of Mapei’s four pillars, which the company set as a goal in 2010. Q.: “The goal is to use high-quality building materials to create buildings that are as durable and sustainable as possible. This requires the development of many more recycled materials, all with maximum consideration of energy efficiency aspects. The company’s zero cold cladding product line fits into this line, which covers the entire range of cold cladding through adhesives and grouts in a sustainable manner, carbon dioxide emissions without.” Overall Mapei SpA expects the sales increasing of more than 6% this year.

Following Ms Veronica Squinzi’s presentation, Mr. Béla Markovich – managing director of Mapei Ltd., presented the company’s results for 2022 and plans for 2023. According to Béla Markovich, there is still a cochlear phenomenon on the market. In order for clients to avoid pitfalls when issuing construction/renovation works, they must be much more conscious when selecting specialists. He presented a website at https://www.szakemberajanlo.hu where a customer can find professionals who have created beautiful and handy things in the past and who can be trusted. This site may draw the customer’s attention to the honest professionals in need. How to choose a contractor so that you don’t go wrong. According to the executive, one of the company’s most important goals is to find good professionals and entrust them with construction work, therefore ensuring construction dreams to come true and not to become nightmare. Spoke about the situation here in Hungary regarding the wages Q.: “Upon Mapei’s information, the 8636HUF per square meter price already corresponds to European-level wages.” According to Béla Markovich, this slows down emigration, with such wages not worth for the majority of professionals to go working abroad. However, if demand continues to decrease, despite the high wages, without work, there is fear that the emigration of skilled construction workers will increase again. Around 43% of professionals perceive no difficulty in the supply of building materials. Only 53% experience minor difficulties, and 3% perceive significant difficulties. Most of them experience supply problems in the field of wood, insulation and tile products.

Just a picture in the frame … The larger job means the waiting time is longer. This time for minor repairs is 46 days on average, for minor constructions and renovations 56 days, for medium investments 66 days, for large investments 71 days. The general contractors have to wait most this year up to 75 days on average. A mason can work for 70 days, a tiler for 65 days. The minimum commitment period for water and gas fitters is 27 days, for building mechanics 33 days, and for electricians 40 days.

In response to one of the media’s questions Ms Veronica Squinzi said Q.: Despite the war in Ukrain, Mapei is not giving up on the Ukrainian market, where it has been already a distributor for many years. The company’s plans include the establishment of a production factory, but the armed conflict in the country delayed the investment. Mapei intends to participate as an active actor in the reconstruction of the country.“

Last but not least, the representatives of the media were provided with thorough information covering many aspects of the Mapie pillars.

Wondering & Wandering Back in Time – Through 1334 – 1325 BC. 

Like much else, all the mysteries and treasures of the Tutankhamun Exhibition were quarantined in March at the KOMPLEX on Király utca (King Street) Budapest. The organizers, on the other hand, ensured the supervision of the treasures from the first moment, in addition to the appropriate security measures, and provided continuous guarding of the relics even during the temporary closure. Now, in the period of reopening, the organizers of the exhibition have placed tremendous emphasis not only on the treasures of incomprehensible value, but also on maintaining the health safety of visitors.

“The reopening of the Tutankhamun exhibition is not only for those interested, but being on a kind of holiday to Egypt. A surprise and a special offer: on July 30 and 31, one child per family can view the exhibition for free of charge … only applies to children aged 6-14. Those who arrive on the first few days of the reopening of the Tutankhamun exhibition will have a special experience,” said the communications manager of JVS Group Hungary.

Items seen through the slideshow have been at first glance in 1922 discovery of over 5,000 artifacts by Howard Carter  @ Tunankhamun’s Tomb. Some of his treasure has traveled worldwide and  after the lockdown quarantines the Budapest’s locals and foreigners staying, living in Hungary needn’t have to travel … especially now-a-days … to Egypt nor to London to see and get the feeling visiting the long gone past Egyptian New Kingdom – 18th Dynasty.

Needless to mention exhibits drew in millions of visitors. Between 1972–1979 exhibit was shown in United States, Soviet Union, Japan, France, Canada, and at the era of the West Germany.
