Hungarian Folk Singing Circle

The Hungarian Folk Singing Circle ('Népdalkör' in Hungarian) teaches Hungarian folk songs through workshops in the House of Music. Join us to learn beautiful Hungarian village folk songs! These three 90-minute workshops are open to participants of all cultural, linguistic, and musical backgrounds, welcoming experienced singers as well as those without any previous experience in the style. We will learn a variety of songs from across the Hungarian language area, crafted over generations of unbroken oral tradition. The optional pronunciation class (16:00-16:30) will cover all of the Hungarian letter sounds in detail, while the singing workshop will include the pronunciation and translation of that day’s song words. Participants receive village source recordings, ethnographic maps, song word sheets (lyrics), and background information on the songs, regions, and style.
