The 29th MUSIC-WINE celebration has already become a tradition, where every year on December 30, the world's one and only 100 Member Gypsy Orchestra gives a grand gala concert.
"MUSIC-WINE"
Gala concert of the
100 Member Gypsy Orchestra
100 musicians play at the same time on the grand concert, performing popular melodious tunes while the audience is tasting selected outstanding Hungarian wines.
This year we continue the tradition, treating our guests to famous operetta excerpts of Imre Kálmán, Ferenc Lehár and Johann Strauss with performances by distinguished soloists of Budapest Operetta Theatre and Hungarian State Opera House. The evergreen melodies can be seen in the brilliant performance of Enikő Lévai and Máté Fülep this evening. The show will conclude with the inevitable "Pacsirta" and the Radetzky march, conducted by the principal violinist József Lendvai Csócsi.
A welcome drink will be offered to the audience, then during the concert for those who wish to enjoy a gastronomic experience in addition to the music, a festive wine dinner or a cold dinner plate and wines with the 100 Members, who will be unrivalled in both sound and spectacle.
Delicious meal, famous wine, splendid show and fantastic milieu, the 100 Member Gypsy Orchestra is looking forward to welcoming those looking for entertainment with a gala program on December 30th., at the Budapest Congress Center.
