Page 8, William Penn Life, October 1988 Hungarian ethnic group concludes eventful season PITTSBURGH — The Hungarian Ethnic Group of Western Penn­sylvania recently concluded a busy summer schedule of folk dance performances. The schedule kicked off in May with the group’s participa­tion in the annual Pittsburgh Folk Festival. This marked the 19th straight year the group has ap­peared at the festival. The group’s next major appear­ance was on July 29 at Hungarian Day at Kenny wood Park just outside of Pittsburgh. The event proved successful again, reuniting the local Hungarian community and attracting those interested in folk culture. This event also featured the crowning of the new Miss Magyar of the Tri-State Area for 1988- 89, Kati Csornán. In accepting her crown, Kati said she is com­mitted to perpetuating the Hung­arian heritage. Group officials said they want to thank the William Penn Asso­ciation for providing the two bands which performed at Hung­arian Day. The group returned the favor by performing at the Associa­tion’s Family Festival held Aug. 7 at the William Penn Home in Wellsburg, W.Va. Group mem­bers also operated a Hungarian food booth at the Family Festival. The Hungarian Ethnic Group concluded its summer schedule on Sept. 11 with a performance at the annual Grape Harvest of the Hungarian Reformed Church in the West Side of Cleveland, Ohio. ur A Guide To Hungarian Radio Programs CONNECTICUT WDJZ - 1530 AM - Bridgeport.

It consid­ers all the aspects and possibilities of the stage to create a program which is rooted in the countless generations of tradition, yet at­tains a contemporary art form Each moment of the Kodály Ensemble’s performance offers---------------From Page 1 evidence of the choreographers’ talent for expressing timely ideas and delivering thought-provoking messages to the audience. Although they reach such high artistic levels, the performers never lose sight of the popular appeal of folk dancing. In fact, the members of the Ensemble, each of whom has spent many years studying and performing Hungarian folk dance on stage, say they feel equally at home at a country wedding.

Simon SOLON, OH — St. John’s Byzan­tine Church held its annual Grape Harvest Festival (Szüretté Bol) on Sunday, Aug. 28, at Chanel High School. The affair featured delicious Hungarian food which was served and prepared by the ladies of the church. The talented ladies also prepared a fantastic selection of Hungarian pastries, dobos fortes, and others too numerous to mention. People stood in long lines for the traditional Zsíros Kenyer (greasy bread or Hungarian pizza) with all the works on it and for the Luci Pecsenye and kolbász. The rainy day did not dampen the spirits of the huge crowd that attended. The children of the parish and their friends presented the beauti­ful traditional dances under the direction of Ilona Durejko. The performance was enjoyed by all. The Hungarian Scout Folk En­semble also performed for the crowd under the direction of Esther Fricke and Peter Balassy. It was a superb performance and received tremendous applause. Serving as honorary chairman of the Grape Harvest was Father Thomas Loya of St. John’s. Among the committee "members who planned and operated the festival were several members of William Penn Assoriatinn Rranrh 45. h-3 PM3C p o•H •p 53 T3a ■ 3 ra o 'll' pry u pH 03a H o S3 a 03-P o CŰ *H 3 p < <2 o 03 CO o 5G X 0 *H a w a3 u pp a 4) %
