PONT Fesztivál (04.11. és 04.12.) BÉRLET / BTF 2020

With interactive events and unique stage productions, PONT Festival 2020 introduces the special traditions of Georgia and Armenia. Come and see UNESCO-listed items of cultural heritage such as the Georgian alphabet and calligraphy, the kochari, an Armenian circle dance, the qvevri, in which Georgian wine is made, and the duduk, a reed woodwind instrument with a sound similar to that of the oboe, considered one of the symbols of Armenian culture. PONT Festival’s popular events like the egg decoration, carpet making and children’s concerts will of course be again part of the programme.

On Saturday, the Shoghaken Folk Ensemble will perform enchanting Armenian melodies on authentic instruments, and Quintet Urmuli will demonstrate Georgian polyphonic singing, a UNESCO-listed tradition. On Sunday, Márta Sebestyén, legendary singer of the dance house movement and UNESCO “Artist for Peace,” gives an Easter-themed concert.

This event of the Budapest Spring Festival is presented by Müpa Budapest as a joint program with Hangvető.
