Subjective Kisharsány tour
Kisharsány, how the ’Katlangoers’, or even the local ones do not know it. Abandoned bank and riddle stories, love mysteries, reception visits, pálinka and cake raids. Irregular regional historical tour lead by local brave lads and girls with some metropolitan background wind. Because making new acquaintances is great!

Assembling: Kisharsány, village pub
Cca. 50 minutes

Palkonya – Mesekert (Tale Garden, Mall Park)
We know her well from the Víg Theatre’s stage and from István Szabó’s early movies – her name is a notion among the children.

Yesterday and Today

The three Mozart - Da Ponte operas
Church concerts
Nagyharsány: The Marriage of Figaro
Kisharsány: Don Giovanni
Palkonya: Cosi fan tutte
Mozart’s greatest successes were due to this three operas and our concert series will also take a closer look on these, supported by four outstanding opera singers. We seek such relationships in these three operas during the ‘talking’ concerts for which a listener has no chance during a traditional show. Since this allows us to repeat particular parts of the music, we can explore the correspondence between the musical fabric and the aria parts or we can ‘try out’ a scene in various ways. We call our listeners to saunter along Mozart’s opera stage.
Pianist-conductor-story teller: Dániel Dinyés
Singers: Apollónia Szolnoki, Anna Herczenik, Tivadar Kiss, Antal Cseh opera singers
György Ferenczi and the Rackajam
Ördögkatlan is almost unthinkable without the ‘Rackas’
At Kisharsány’s football pitch
György Ferenczi, our excellent harmonica artist has a broadly twenty-year career, which was hallmarked by the fusion of country, blues, rock ‘n’ roll and the Hungarian folk music. He is featured on more than 250 albums since he became popular with his bands named Herfli Davidson and Rackajam across Europe.
“A Hungarian musician should normally be able go anywhere from folk music, but in the home of Kodály-method it’s not the usual case. I grew up on Jimi Hendrix’, AC/DC’s and Hobo Blues Band’s music. Today, two things define my music: the folk music and Hendrix.” – says the main Racka.
Gran Kino: 1989 – Soundtrack
A real musical delicacy on Kisharsány’s free stage
The year 1989 was one of the most important turning point in our modern history. By this was inspired a special artistic project, in which more than 30 artists have taken part and and with the collaboration of whom the Gran Kino named French band has composed the music of this crucial year. In the project – among others – has taken part: Calexico (USA), Tambours du Bronx (F), Akido Ando (JAP), Clare & the Reasons (USA) & Jos Kley (The Ex, NL). Although only 4 musicians stands on the stage, the rest of the participating artists are summoned on samplers.
Balázs Lenthár
Balázs Lenthár is already one of the determining figures of Pécs’s pub life since years. His blues, country and rock’n’roll songs have already condemned a lot of for a better fortune worthy one to drink until dawn. His repertoire contains Tom Waits and Johnny Cash classics, as well as Louis Jordan, Nick Cave and Hank Williams melodies. Our ball will take place at Árok Bar, in Nagyharsány.
Psycho Mutants
Since their formation in 2005, the band had held more than 150 concerts, in an almost indescribable stlye, fusing psychedelic, western swing and rock’n’roll elements. Their music is a little like Dracula meeting Johnny Cash with some old western scenery in the background. Alongside the drums and bass lines they enrich their melodies with noisy shreds, trombone and accordion unified by the deeply resonant and powerful voice of Zoltán Karnics. Mystical and forceful music this one, impact guaranteed.
Fajkusz Banda
Attila Fajkusz – violin; Gergely Szőke – viola; Ernő Szőke – double bass; Sándor Erőss – accordion
The orchestra's founders count already as old-timers among the barn dance musicians. In 2009 they’ve published a CD titled ‘Anno’, from which substance was made a dance theatre program for Sopron Dancegroup (directors: Ferenc Sipos, Gábor Boka). Also, there is a living cooperation with the Dalriada folk-metal band from Sopron, which enriches the genre. We think that musicians benefit the people dancing to their music: we are the constant accompany of Sopron Dancegroup, and we also accompany their supply, Pendelyes Dancegroup, but even more times our supply, the Lövői band accompanies them. We find the young persons', children's teaching very important, two younger orchestras try their wings beside us.
It is said that us making music conjures up a good mood - presumably because we do it so.
