Hungarian Folk Show & Concert
The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, regarded as one of the best in Hungary, was established in 1951. Its aims were to collect and play authentic folk music and preserve the Hungarian folk dances and traditional costumes of Hungarian-inhabited areas by putting them on stage for the public. They are regularly featured in national events and abroad.
