MASTERS OF HUNGARIAN FOLK MUSIC

ÜSZTÜRÜ
HUNGARIAN FOLK MUSIC ENSEMBLE
>From Marosvásárhely [Tirgu Mures], Transylvania

The ÜSZTÜRÜ Ensemble was founded in 1992 by young Hungarian musicians while
attending The ÜSZTÜRÜ Ensemble plays the authentic village music of
Transylvania and Hungary in an exciting performance. Members of the Ensemble
have studied extensively with the greatest masters of Hungarian folk music
and carry on a tradition, which will assure the survival of traditional
Hungarian music into this new century. The ÜSZTÜRÜ has performed in many
countries of Europe and in the USA during a tour in 2000, this is their
return engagement.
university in Kolozsvár [Cluj]. They were born in Transylvania and had close
connections to the communities where Hungarian folk music was still a living
tradition. They witnessed first hand how authentic, traditional folk music,
played on acoustic instruments, has disappeared from village life, having
been displaced by electronic instruments and Western pop music. The members
of the ÜSZTÜRÜ were fortunate to learn and play with the greatest masters of
Transylvanian music: Sándor Fodor [Neti] and Ferenc Árus from Kalotaszeg;
Kodoba Béla and his family from Magyarpalatka, István Ádám [Icsán] from
Szék; István Jámbor [Domnezu] and Ferenc Mezei [Csángáló] from Szászcsávás.
Some of them, alas, have passed away. Many years of playing with these folk
artists and studying, collecting their music makes the members of the
ÜSZTÜRÜ special bearers of Transylvanian Hungarian music. They are dedicated
to assuring the continued survival of a folk art form, which can rarely be
found even in its indigenous surroundings. The Ensemble is also at home in
performing all Hungarian folk musical dialects from the Austrian border to
the Eastern slopes of the Carpathian Mountains.
Members of the ÜSZTÜRÜ wish to share with American audiences their
enthusiasm for authentic Hungarian music and convey its wonderful melodies,
exciting emotions and versatile styles as they have learned these from their
masters.
