NEWS FROM HUNGARY Southeastern Louisiana University (USA), in collaboration with the Teachers’ Training College of Debrecen, and the World Federation of Hungarians, sponsored a “Sumer Study in Hungary” program this past sumer to provide American students with an opportunity to study Hungarian and the culture of Hungary in its natural environment. Debrecen was selected as the location of the study program because of its climate, its proximity to the major centers of Hungarian culture, its universities, and its superb setting as a historical city. Students were housed in a dormitory of the University of Debrecen at the expense of the Hungarian Government, while the World Federation of Hungarians provided sightseeing excursions. * * * * Miskolcs and Szeged played important roles in Hungary’s “Musical Summer” this year. From June 19 to July 23, concerts shared the stage of Miskolc’s Diósgyőr Castle with performances of “Les Petits Riens” by Mozart and “Mike the Magnate” by Albert Szirmai, while the Collegium Musicum offered organ recitals in Avas Church and the “Rock Theater” performed alongside folkloric dancers. In Szeged, between July 20 and August 20, the first national Hungarian opera, “Hunyadi László”, composed in 1844 by Ferenc Erkel, and Gunod’s “Faust” were highlights of the city’s open-air festival. Guest appearances by the Gyor Ballet and the Georgian Folk Ensemble alternated with organ recitals and Kacsoh’s musical drama, “Rákóczi”. This Fall, between September 25 and October 25, Budapest will host “Music of Our Age”, the works of contemporary composers from Hungary and the international community, in the Vigadó Concert Hall. Special festival guest will be the composer, Karlheinz Stockhausen. * * * * Andre Watts, the “Black Hungarian American Maestro of the Keyboard”, and the film actress, Marianne Krencsey, have recently become members of the Page 14 committee organized in the U.S. to help expedite the appearance in America of a Hungarian Theatrical Group under the Direction of Marton Frigyes. Scheduled to arrive late this year, the purpose of their tour is to help raise money for the “building fund” of the new Hungarian National Theatre. * * * * The Hungarian Academy of Sciences held its 144th General Assembly recently and, after the opening address by HAS President, Janos Szentsgothai, the Academy Gold Medal was awarded to HAS member, Zoltán Szabó, whose work in physical chemistry, particularly in the area of catalysis, has won worldwide recognition. The relationship between the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the American Philsophical Society, which was co-founded by Benjamin Franklin, is more than 100 years old. * * * * Trade relations between Hungary and Canada are becoming increasingly profitable to both countries.
