“MUSIC-WINE” GALA CONCERT OF THE 100 MEMBER GYPSY ORCHESTRA

“MUSIC-WINE”
Gala concert of the
100 Member Gypsy Orchestra

The 27th 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.

100 musicians play at the same time on the grand concert, performing popular melodious tunes while the audience is tasting selected outstanding wines of Hungarian wineries.

This year we continue the tradition, treating our guests to famous operetta excerpts of Imre Kálmán and Jenő Huszka with performances by distinguished soloists of Budapest Operetta Theatre. The evergreen melodies can be seen in the brilliant performance of Annamari Dancs and Péter Laki this evening.

The show will conclude with the inevitable “Pacsirta” and the Radetzky march, conducted by the principal violinist József Lendvai Csócsi.

A special feature of the evening will be a wine tasting during the interval, where the audience will be able to taste excellent wines from Hungary’s selected winemakers and wine cellars. Guests who would like to partake in an epicurean journey along with the concert experience can enjoy savory snacks or even a four-course festive dinner accompanying the Orchestra’s unparalleled performance.

Delicious meal, famous wine, splendid show and fantastic milieu with the 100 Member Gypsy Orchestra on December 30th, at the Budapest Congress Center.
