Orfűi Malmok organizes its all-day program called Cidri! every year, and this year it also includes a RUSTICO concert.
The trio formation of Júlia Kubinyi, Balázs Szokolay Dongó and Ferenc Zimber performs chamber music based on Hungarian folk music traditions, made exciting by folk-music solutions created in the moment. The virtuoso joint performance of wind instruments and cimbalom used in traditional Hungarian folk music gives an entirely new voice to the melodies of various regions of the Carpathian Basin. Their musical arrangements primarily bring to life the music of Székely Land, Moldva, the Mezőség region of Transylvania, Nitra, Békés and Somogy.
"For us, RUSTICO is a true testimony to folk music and our connection to our traditional heritage. The meaning of rustico in music is peasant-like, old-fashioned, capturing what we represent with our music: our commitment to the validity, reinterpretation and values of the old playing style."
JÚLIA KUBINYI – vocals
FERENC ZIMBER – cimbalom
BALÁZS SZOKOLAY DONGÓ – flute, kaval, bagpipe, long flute, saxophone
The concert event is realized with the support of the NKA Halmos Béla Collegium.
JÚLIA KUBINYI – vocals. A folk singer honored with the title Young Master of Folk Art in 2012 and the Junior Prima Award in 2013, whom many also know as a finalist soloist in the first series (2012) of the Fölszállott a páva television folk music competition. Since 2008, she has been the singer of the long-established Dűvő ensemble, a regular performer with numerous folk music formations, and since 2021 a soloist singer with the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble. Her first solo album "Magam járom" was released in 2015, followed by Rustico in 2018, and Örökül Magyarlapádról in 2021.
BALÁZS SZOKOLAY DONGÓ – wind instruments. He plays folk music and folk-music-inspired improvisational music on bagpipe, flute and saxophone. During deeper study of Carpathian Basin folklore, he began working on folk music arrangements. This gave rise to his own compositions and improvisational music foundations that carry the musical culture of the distant past while maintaining a modern, contemporary character. Since 1990, he has been a regular performer in Hungarian musical life. It is important to mention the workshop practice in which folk music is perfected in historical music and improvisation. He received the title Young Master of Folk Art in 1994. He received the Artisjus Award in 2005 and the Prima Award in 2016. His instruments: flute, kaval, tilinkó, bagpipe, soprano saxophone, tárogató.
FERENC ZIMBER – cimbalom. The Junior Prima Award-winning cimbalomist is currently a professional musician with the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble orchestra. He began playing cimbalom at age eight under Tamás Petrovics in Székesfehérvár. Later he continued his musical studies at the Vác Tibor Pikéthy Music Arts Secondary School and then at the Liszt Ferenc University of Music as a student of Kálmán Balogh. He is a regular performer with numerous authentic Hungarian folk music and world music formations. With the Fondor ensemble he received the title Young Master of Folk Art in 2009, and as a regular performer with the internationally successful Buda Folk Band, their album Magyar világi népzene (Hungarian Secular Folk Music) finished in 2nd place on the World Music Charts Europe in 2014.

Based on Éva Martus's wild idea, the works are displayed not on paper or canvas, but on rusty, dented spades and old shovels. The effect is quite striking, with the animals on the spades appearing as if they were about to climb down from the rusty iron.

Among the delicacies of Cidri, in addition to apples and their relatives, pumpkin seed oil also reappears in the form of a pressing demonstration and tasting, which we have to thank Orsi Füzes for.
In the mill courtyard all day: craft demonstrations and market of the Orfű Craft Association with masters from the association and the surrounding area.
