Music‐Wine Gala Concert of the 100 Gypsy Violins Orchestra
Budapest, Budapest Congress Center — Main Hall
About the Event
The 29th MUSIC‐WINE celebration has already become a tradition, where every year on December 30, the world's one and only 100 Member Gypsy Orchestra gives a grand gala concert.
100 musicians play at the same time on the grand concert, performing popular melodious tunes while the audience is tasting selected outstanding Hungarian wines.
This year we continue the tradition, treating our guests to famous operetta excerpts of Ferenc Lehár and Imre Kálmán with performances by distinguished operetta soloists. The show will conclude with the inevitable 'Pacsirta' and the Radetzky march, conducted by the principal violinist József Lendvai Csócsi.
A welcome drink will be offered to the audience, then during the concert for those who wish to enjoy a gastronomic experience in addition to the music, a festive wine dinner or a cold dinner plate and wines with the 100 Members, who will be unrivalled in both sound and spectacle.
Delicious meal, famous wine, splendid show and fantastic milieu, the 100 Member Gypsy Orchestra is looking forward to welcoming those looking for entertainment with a gala program on December 30th., at the Budapest Congress Center.

Magnifique concert. Des virtuoses à chaque instrument dans une ambiance chaleureuse. Les artistes hongrois vous font passer un frisson de bonheur a chaque interprétation. Un vrai bonheur musical dans une ambiance très chaleureuse. Bravissimo

C'était un magnifique concert avec une partie tzigane, l'autre classique. De très bons musiciens, complices qui vous emmènent dans leur joyeux tourbillon : on aurait presqu'envie de danser ! Dîner excellent et vins exquis. .

Das Konzert war spitze! Die Weinprobe war okay. Das einzige was wir als sörend empfunden haben, war das Geschirrgeklapper. Im unteren Bereich der Kongresshalle wird das Dinner serviert und das hierfür benötigte Geschirr muss anscheinend ganz nach oben, oberhalb der Balkonplätze transportier, sortiert und gespült werden. Das ist einfach zu laut und stört beim Zuhören der tollen Musik.
