The three-year Zeng a lélek program continues, with its second phase taking place in Hajdúböszörmény. The program is led by Tóth Lilla, a Hungarian Academy of Arts scholarship holder. During this folk singing course series, selections from the legacy of ethnographer dr. Papp János will be revived as local residents and interested people from the surrounding area learn the songs of Hajdúság.
At the October 17 session (moving past Saint Michael's Day toward the Day of Dömötör), participants will become acquainted with Hajdúság shepherd and outlaw songs, and prison songs.
