Music Program Presents
András Hodorog and His Hungarian Folk Music Band
Tuesday, February 5, 2019
Blum Hall
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST/GMT-5
András Hodorog is the last living virtuoso among native Hungarian flute players in the Carpathian region. The “peasant flute” was once a widespread instrument in the villages of Hungary; during the 20th century, a number of collected field recordings immortalized thousands of flute melodies, including those that inspired the great Hungarian composers of the last century among them, Bartók and Kodály. A member of Moldva Region’s Hungarian minority, Hodorog has a performance style based on his extraordinarily wide palette of motivic fragments and melodic ornamentations, as well as his skill in combining these patterns in constantly changing ways.2:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST/GMT-5
Hodorog will be accompanied by:
Soma Salamon, folk flute player
Réka Annus, voice
Krisztián Kiss, koboz
Benke Ágoston Félix, drum, tiling, doromb
