Hungarian Heartbeats is an exciting, wide-ranging concert programme created especially for the WOMEX 11 Opening. As well as featuring three Hungarian bands exploring varied traditions, the show highlights a number of versatile soloists brought together for this special performance.

Bridging East and West, the most ancient elements are rooted in Asia, while some features of Western European music and dance have spread steadily since the Middle Ages - the Renaissance left its mark and 19th century Romantic influences from Viennese parlours were felt in even the smallest village...
