» Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design department of textile design
Friday, 5 March 2010 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm
Trafo House of Contemporary Art
In the spring of 2010, the students of the MOME textile department will embark on an innovative and exciting venture. They’ll transform the Trafó’s theatre hall into a multitude of catwalks for a single night. The organizers will use the mobile stage to surprise the audience by staging an unusual show. The models and dancers, who will be the models for the night, will show up at unexpected moments from every possible direction. The practically theatrical performance will present the collections of the MOME graduates and third and fourth year students.
We shouldn’t expect to see a ready to wear collection, since the students and artists experiment with various forms and functions, concentrating on the novelty and originality of design. The show will also present the various phases of design: how an idea becomes a piece of clothing or an extravagant haute couture piece of art.

» PÉTER HALÁSZ – Evocation
Friday, 19 March 2010
Mucsarnok
Until 21 March 2010
At a three-day event series, fellow-artists pay homage to the memory of Péter Halász, theatre director, actor, writer and “amateur actor instructor” (as put by the state security service), who died four years ago. To round out the “Halász experience,” the filmic portrait will be complemented with theatre performances and readings, an exhibition of photos and relics, concerts, and a special sound room, with the participation of fellow artists. With this programme we want to ensure that the spirit of this uniquely versatile artist, this trueborn Hungarian thespian, will live on.

» 28th Hungarian Press Photo Exhibition
Friday, 19 March 2010
Hungarian National Museum
Until 2 May 2010
The exhibition of the best press photos of the past year “brings back” the events, faces and moods that made the year 2009 memorable. Moments of drama and joy, struggles, celebration and mourning, everyday life situations, never to be repeated artistic and sports achievements, natural wonders. The exhibition that will be open for more than a month is an adventure and time trip into the events of 2009 that are now the past but still influence our lives.
Auxiliary exhibition:
The exhibition on The World of Fashion in Photography – Yesterday and Today presents a selection from the work of Hungarian photographers who became masters of the genre both in Hungary and abroad.

» NIGEL KENNEDY and the Danubia Orchestra Óbuda present a unique evening of the masterworks of Bach and Ellington
Friday, 26 March 2010 7.30pm
Palace of Arts
The eccentric violin virtuoso who practically comes home to Budapest first presented his Bach–Ellington programme – that may at first appear unusual – in London in September 2009, on that occasion with the famous Philharmonia Orchestra. Bach has always been much appreciated among jazz musicians, they have always enjoyed improvising on his works and there are countless arrangements and settings. At his festival concert, Kennedy, who always takes an informal tone with his audience, will proceed not from the Baroque master towards jazz, but in the opposite direction: he will look up at Bach’s colossal oeuvre from the world of jazz.

» Paco de Lucía
Sunday, 28 March 2010 7.30pm
Palace of Arts
In the course of his career the renowned flamenco guitarist has produced more than 25 albums, received hundreds of prestigious prizes and earned the highest praise from critics around the world for his universal art and the spectacular musical revolution he launched. Thanks to his openness and unfailing creativity, Paco created a real dialogue between flamenco and the rhythms of Brazil, jazz, the music of Larry Coryell, Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, John Mclaughlin, and the works of classical composers, Albeniz, Falla, Rodrigo. His oeuvre will undoubtedly be a new chapter in the history of music.
