György Martin, the Bartók in Ethnochoreology
György Martin is one of the most influential figures in Hungarian and, what’s more, international folk-dance research, someone whose work can be compared to that of Bartók and Kodály. The House of Music Hungary and the Hungarian Heritage House are holding a joint professional day to honour the memory of György Martin. The evening will feature the dancers and orchestra of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, György Martin's foster son Péter Éri and his children Katalin Éri and Márton Éri, and their fellow musicians. As a special guest, Ulf-Arne Johannessen, one of the most outstanding representatives of the Norwegian dance tradition, which has much in common with Hungarian dance, will also step up onto the stage.
