Vujicsics 50

Outlook - Music of Motivation in the 21st Century

World Music, Jazz, Popular Music

The Vujicsics Ensemble, which plays South-Slavic music, has maintained the same line-up ever since their formation 50 years ago. The goal of the group, who have since reached the very pinnacle of European folk music, is the same as ever: following in the footsteps of Béla Bartók, Tihamér Vujicsics and György Martin, they have succeeded in preserving Serbian and Croatian folk music traditions while making their music enjoyable for people of all nationalities. They will be celebrating their 50th anniversary with a series of concerts throughout the year, culminating in an epic evening at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall. Along with the Söndörgő and several noted Hungarian musicians, the world-famous Israeli mandolinist, the Grammy-nominated Avi Avital will be celebrating with Vujicsicic as an international guest artist.
