Did you know that there’s a day of the year when the passageway between the living and the dead, humans and magical creatures, and the worlds of reality and fantasy opens up? This is the tradition of Halloween, an ancient holiday that we are going to celebrate for the third time with a concert. Our debut was a great success two years ago, whereby Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra also introduced a “terrifying” re-enactment of the holiday. But instead of the commercialised American ways, the beliefs of the ancient Celtic tradition will be placed at the heart of the concert. Ghosts, music, goosebumps… that’s what this unusual concert offers, with dance and carefully composed lighting to enhance the overall effect. And what about the music? There will be many sorts: scary, playful, cathartic, occasionally even popular. As befits witches, vampires and ghosts…
