On the occasion of the Night of the Museums on 21 June 2025 at 8.30 pm the Windward (Fuvalom) vocal ensemble will perform in the Lobby at the ELTE University Library and Archives (1053 Budapest, Ferenciek tere 6.).
The Fuvalom is an a capella ensemble based on folk songs, which is sometimes supplemented with an instrument or a sound instrument. They sing about what inspires them: love, joy and sorrow, and their themes include both secular and sacred material. They believe that true singing from the heart can renew us, deepen our feelings. To be able to experience all this within oneself is a miracle. If more of us can experience it, it is an even greater miracle. And that is just enough for a lifetime of beautiful vocations. Inspired by the tradition of Hungarian folk music, they express the original and exciting character of our folk music.
The band's debut album, Soaring Winds, was released in 2023, and you can hear a selection of these songs on the shortest night of the year, along with some fresh new material. The album was an important milestone in the life of the ensemble, as it solidified their musical credo, their sound and their instrumentation. They are currently working on their second album, and will also be playing some of the finished tracks.
More details about our programmes are available here and on the Night of Museums’ homepage. All visitors are welcome!
