Béla Bartók set off for Maros–Torda County in April 1914, before the outbreak of the First World War, on what was to be the composer’s last great trip to collect folk music in Transylvania. The war and its aftermath swept away the state of authentic folk music that came to be preserved in his recordings. Bartók 1914 is a production that pays tribute to this musical material. The concert features Magos Band, who devote particular attention to the folk music of the region, and who will host special guests from Transylvania: Romanian fiddler and recorder player, Dumitru Toderic from Felsőrépa (Vătava), the first village Bartók visited during his 1914 journey, musicians from Magyarpéterlaka, who know the music of the Székely villages along the Nyárád (Niraj) well, with Ágnes Langer and Balázs Fülei.

This concert of the Bartók Spring is presented by Müpa Budapest as a joint event with House of Hungarian Music.
