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.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
