SOLD-OUT - Ersch: 'Ruppótlan' – Listening Session for Örs Siklósi's Unreleased Solo Album

This program is held in Hungarian.

Örs Siklósi, the singer-songwriter who died in 2021, did not only make his mark in AWS: in his solo project he performed his own compositions and arrangements with a single guitar. His songs had been collected for a long time, many of them did not fit into the world of AWS, so Örs only played them to a small circle of friends. Later, these became independent evenings, and in 2014 a separate band was born: Ersch.

Örs founded the Ersch formation with his fellow musicians and friends, Áron Veress, Gergő Varga and Gergél Gadolla, and their first song and video, Bajt okoz (Causing Trouble), was released in 2016.In 2019, he decided that he wanted to make a full-length album of the songs he had written over the years, which he sang, almost only missing the finishing touches when the work process was interrupted. His family and friends felt the material was too precious to be left in a drawer, so they got together to finish the solo album. The process has been long and emotionally draining - but now it's time to show what they and Örs have been working on over the years.

The album will have its special premiere on 4 September 2025, Örs's birthday, in the Great Hall of the Hungarian House of Music. For the first time, the audience will be able to listen to the complete album, the creators will talk about this painful yet beautiful process, and the Ersch Orchestra will perform three songs live. The number of seats is limited, but those who miss out need not worry: the album will be released on digital platforms on the same day and will also be available on CD on the website of the foundation that cares for the memory of Örs.
