Táncház (Dance House): Erdőfű

This programme is held in Hungarian.

In 2025, the House of Music will continue its free open-air Dance House on its open-air stage from May to September, with the Erdőfű Orchestra playing music on the second occasion and Ilona Jablonszki and Ádám Jablonszki helping with dance instruction.

Erdőfű is a group of dance musicians from Hungary. Its members are all committed to the authentic performance of the folk music tradition of the Carpathian Basin, both in dance halls and concert venues. The aim of the initiative, which can also be regarded as a music workshop, is to provide a comprehensive picture of the diversity of string folk music of the Hungarian regions and the ethnic groups living with us, keeping in mind the specific characteristics of the given region or village. The ars poetica of the musical association requires in-depth professional knowledge and specific knowledge of the musical traditions of a particular region, so it is important that the members of Erdőfű have sufficient experience and knowledge of instrumental folk music. Their performance will give the audience the opportunity to experience the unique sound of folk music from the Carpathian Basin in terms of different instrumental combinations and unique playing styles.
