Hungarian State Folk Ensemble
The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, regarded as one of the
greatest folkloric dance ensembles in the world, was established
in 1951. Its aims were to collect and play authentic folk music
and to preserve the folk dances and traditional costumes of
Hungary and Hungarian-inhabited areas by putting them on
stage before the public. During the more than four and a half
decades of its existence, the Ensemble has achieved its aim by
revitalizing the culture of the Hungarian people. Their rich and
colorful repertoire entitles the Ensemble to be regarded as one of
the top touring groups in the world.
