Turkish-Hungarian cultural season features 70 events in Hungary
Gulsen Karanis Eksioglu told participants of a working breakfast that over 400 Turkish artists have participated in the programme so far. The programmes have drawn some 75,000 visitors in 10 cities, she said, adding that they hoped Hungary’s EU presidency in the second half of the year would provide further opportunities.
Besides Budapest, Szeged, Veszprem and other Hungarian cities, events will be held in the Ataturk Cultural Centre in Istambul and the Presidential Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall in Ankara.
Osman Can Urel, a cultural counsellor of the embassy, said the season featured dance performances such as Guldestan and Dance Adrenalin, the Allegra Ensemble, and concerts by Omer Faruk Tekbilek and the Onder Focan Jazz Trio, among others.
