SOLD-OUT - István Pikács
Whether it is the stirring melodies of stringed gypsy bands or the moving melodies of bar pianists, music has always permeated the restaurants, pubs and cafés of Hungarian towns. Once a month, the Musicians Café series is staged at the café of the Hungarian House of Music to take the audience into the world of the visiting musicians. During our Café evenings, the atmosphere of the restaurants of Gyula Krúdy's era, and Pál Jávor, Antal Páger, celebrities who partied with the band, or even decadent jazz musicians will be brought to life. The aim of the series is to draw attention to one of our most important Hungarian pieces of heritage, café gypsy music, which nowadays is sadly increasingly neglected. This time, István Pikács will provide a shining example of café pianist music.
