Márta Sebestyén: I Sing My Song...

This program will be held in Hungarian.

The globally renowned performer Márta Sebestyén, recipient of the Kossuth, Liszt, and UNESCO awards, has represented Hungarian folk music traditions for five decades, whose commitment not only made her known in Hungary but worldwide. She performs traditional folk elements with her unique, distinctive sound, thus contributing to the international recognition of Hungarian musical culture. The musical heritage created by Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály is an important foundation in her work. The perspective of the two composers, which builds on the collection and authentic presentation of folk music, has a decisive impact on her performances. She has not only preserved the folk music traditions but also created a unique style by presenting these traditions in new forms on stage.
