ÚJHOLD, A Bence kalandjai
A special literary-musical cultural evening with the New Moon Orchestra and guests at the Three Ravens. Újhold will present their new single 'Society of Contemporary Poets' and their video clip, released on the same day, will be shown for the first time at the venue. The Adventures of Bence will warm up the stage with a guitar performance, and before the concerts, Florencia Horváth will talk to the main characters about poetry, music and, of course, setting poems to music.
Schedule
Újhold - What happens when you bring together a Hungarian teacher and an architect in a wine bar? The teacher is called the same name as the famous writer, but he can play the guitar; the architect is more of a philosopher and plays the keyboards. So it's easier to guess that they'll form the Újhold band, which will wrap Hungarian poetry in rock music. With the addition of drums and bass, the poems can now be performed not only at literary events, but also in clubs and on big stages. This is the universe of Újhold.
The Adventures of Bence - The one-man showcase of guitarist-songwriter Bence Jobbágy, familiar to many on the Hungarian popular music scene, where lyrics play a central role alongside guitar and vocal melodies. Through Bence's songs, we enter a dreamlike world full of unique sounds and expressive images, where poems by old and new poets are as much a part of the music as the author's own lyrics. The music is devotional in the best sense of the word, at times melancholic, at others playfully joyful, and is an honest reflection of the musician's thoughts.
