She is a living legend of Cuban music. This special concert is not only an opportunity for musiclovers to hear one of the greatest icons of world music live, but also one of the key stops on Omara’s farewell tour.

Born in Havana in 1930, Omara Portuondo has become a defining figure not only in Cuban music but on the global music scene as well.

She once said that was a tremendous gift for her and forever changed her life. She decided to stay young and learn something new every day.

Omara gained recognition not only in Cuba. The Buena Vista Social Club gained worldwide fame in 1997 when American guitarist and producer Ry Cooder brought together this iconic Cuban band, with Omara Portuondo as the only female member of the group. That same year, they made their debut in the United States on the legendary Carnegie Hall stage. The global success of the Buena Vista Social Club film and album launched Omara into a new chapter of her life, allowing her to win the admiration of multiple generations of fans.

Over the years, she has participated in numerous world tours and has been recognized with many awards and accolades from the music world. Her latest album won a Latin Grammy Award and was also nominated for an American Grammy. Through the Buena Vista Social Club, Omara Portuondo’s name became forever intertwined with the richness of Cuban music and the history of world music.

The legacy of the Buena Vista Social Club is at the heart of Omara Portuondo’s 2024 tour, with performances in Spain, the United States, and Hungary. Her concert in Budapest offers a unique opportunity for Hungarian fans to experience the musical heritage of the Buena Vista Social Club live, while also getting a closer look at the iconic artist. The concert promises special moments, as Omara will perform some of the greatest songs of her career, evoking the richness and magic of Cuban music.

During the performance in Budapest, the audience will not only enjoy a musical presentation but also experience a true Latin celebration, where the passion of Cuban culture and music come together.

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.

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.

The Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities allowed tours beginning in 1962 with the exhibit at the Louvre in Paris, followed by the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art in Tokyo, Japan. 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.
