After a nearly decade-long hiatus, Szolyva will host a city-wide event for the second time commemorating the events of March 15, 1948. The event was organized with the help of the newly founded KMKSZ organization in Solyva. The commemoration will open with a concert, where Jen\u0151 Canyk\u00f3, a member of the Ungv\u00e1r Philharmonic Orchestra, will play the accordion accompanied by violinist M\u00e1ria Percsi. The concert will be followed by a 35-minute performance put on by students from the local Hungarian school. The show will consist of poetry, dances and music depicting the events of 1848-49, spanning from the outbreak of the revolution and the war of independence to the surrender at Vil\u00e1gos.<\/p>\n
