Musicians' Café – Live Gypsy music at Trilla Restaurant
Szervezés:
This programme is held in Hungarian.
Whether it’s the blood-stirring melodies of string Gypsy bands or the moving tunes of bar pianists, the restaurants, pubs and cafés of Hungarian cities have always been permeated by music. Launched in the café of the House of Music, the Musicians’ Café series guides the audience once a month into the world of hospitality musicians. During our café evenings, the atmosphere of the restaurants of Gyula Krúdy’s era comes to life, along with the age of Pál Jávor, Antal Páger, celebrities carousing with the band, and even decadent gentry. The aim of the series is to draw attention to one of our most important Hungarikums, café Gypsy music, which unfortunately has been increasingly pushed into the background in recent times. On this occasion, the live Gypsy music will be provided by Ernő Oláh Jr. and his band.
Our guests are welcomed with a welcome drink, and in keeping with the spirit of the Musicians’ Café, it is possible to have dinner and drinks at the concert venue.
Ernő Oláh
He was born on 22 May 2001 in Budapest. He comes from a family of musicians. Under the influence of his father, he began playing the violin at the age of five. He began his studies at the Józsefváros Music School with Mrs. Józsefné Szász. After the Béla Bartók Secondary School of Music, he obtained his violinist diploma at the Széchenyi István University, majoring in Violin Performance, under Professor Dr. Zsolt Kalló. During his studies, he took part in masterclasses held by some of the world’s leading violinists: the violinists Zakhar Bron, József Lendvay, Nathan Giem and Katalin Kokas gave him enormous inspiration for his further career. He has several times had the good fortune to appear at the head of symphony orchestras: he has performed together with the MÁV, the Dohnányi and the Hungarian National Philharmonic.
After obtaining his diploma, he became a violin teacher at the Árpád Fasang Music School in Csepel. He is currently preparing to obtain his second diploma. “I have a particular attraction to Hungarian professional café Gypsy music, since my forebears belonged to the forefront of the genre. During my career so far I have often had the opportunity to make music with a Gypsy band as well. With my father’s band I was able to make solo recordings for Dankó Radio. It is my determined intention that, alongside classical music, I should also cultivate café Gypsy music at an artistic level, so that listeners may come to know the true beauty of the genre. Despite my youth, I firmly believe that the star of café Gypsy music will shine again as brightly as it did in the 20th century. I consider it very important to carry the work of my role models into the 21st century. I would like to make the musical legacy of Laci Rácz, Imre Magyari, Gyula “Toki” Horváth, Béla Rácz, Sándor Járóka Sr., Lajos Boross and Sándor Járóka Jr. public property for Hungarian society.”
