As part of the Fringe program, launched in 2024 to support the mission of the Hungarian House of Music—we issued a call for applications in three categories—we are offering emerging musicians and amateur bands at the beginning of their careers, as well as street musicians, music schools, and music workshops, the opportunity to perform at various locations within the House. The “On Stage!” series features talented, up-and-coming musicians and amateur music groups (bands, vocal ensembles, mixed groups, etc.) who are just starting out and have had little opportunity to introduce themselves to a wider audience. This time, the Dúros Band will be performing on the Open-Air Stage.
The Dúros Band was formed three years ago, born out of friendships that go back many years. It is important to us to authentically perform the folk music of the Carpathian Basin, to showcase it, and to introduce it to a wider audience with as colorful an instrumental arrangement as possible. We believe that these old melodies and the emotions they convey can still have a profound impact on people today.
Our current concert, “The Shepherd in Search of Love,” depicts a unique life journey that was, however, quite common in the old world. The story begins with an idyllic picture of nature and peasant life, as well as the alluring promise of love, but ultimately ends with a sad farewell.
