Join us for this special lecture on Saturday, September 13 at 2 P.M. “Klasszikus Magyar Nóta”—recognized today as a Hungarikum—is a distinct and deeply expressive genre of Hungarian vocal music that bridges folk roots with classical performance traditions. This presentation offers an engaging journey through the emotional landscapes, cultural history, and artistic essence of this unique style. Through storytelling, images, and live performance, Emőke Armington will explore how these richly ornamented melodies have captured Hungarian identity for generations. Discover the social backdrop, poetic texts, and musical form of the “nóta”, and experience its enduring power to connect hearts across borders and time. Emőke Armington is a classically trained Hungarian-American vocalist, music educator, and cultural ambassador. She studied in Hungary, Romania, Switzerland, Germany and Canada before continuing her career in the United States.
