About

The Harghita National Szekler Folk Ensemble was born in the most Eastern region of Transylvania, in Miercurea Ciuc.

Our company, the Harghita Ensemble has been functioning as a professional institution since 1990 continuing the work of the amateur ensemble founded in 1970 under a similar name.

Our primary goal has always been the exploration of our folk culture, living that culture and presenting, popularizing and handing it down in an authentic manner.

In our folklore programs that have always been built on authentic material – given our geographic position – Transylvania and the Szeklerland have been prominent, but our shows also present the entire Carpathian basin, going beyond the Eastern Carpathians to the Moldova Csangos. Our repertoire also comprises several dance performances.

It is our pleasure that our programs are sold out all over the settlements around Miercurea Ciuc, also among the Hungarians living in the diaspora, in small comunities as well as in large cities. Besides our regular home performances we have been able to display our traditions and represent the multiculturality of Romania, the Hungarian traditions, but also Transylvania, the Szeklerland and last but not least the community that has been maintaining us, Miercurea Ciuc, on international tours, festivals and events.

Besides stage work our institution has also been the initiator and organizer of important events: Assembly of Transylvanian Folk Violinists, the Day of One Thousand Szekler Girls, Csűrdöngölő – folk dance assembly for children and youth and Heritage – folk music and dance assembly of Mezőség. Dancers of our company assist and teach several children’s, youth and adult folk dance groups.

The maintainer of the ensemble is the Local Council of Miercurea Ciuc.

Founded in 2001, the Csik Chamber Orchestra is now one of the leading orchestras of the country. In July 2001, a chamber orchestra, founded by university students from the most prominent Universities of the country played its first concert in Miercurea-Ciuc, under the leadership of renowned pianist, conductor, and pedagogue, Zoltán Szőnyi. The concert was such a great success that soon it became a regular performer not only as part of citywide events but it created its own concert schedule and named itself “Csik Chamber Orchestra”. Since 2002, the orchestra has also met foreign invitations. Their recordings have been broadcasted several times on the MR1 Bartók Radio in Budapest and Radio Târgu-Mureş. Thanks to the financial support of different grants and organizations, the orchestra appear offen as a full symphonic orchestra, still keeping its name as Csik Chamber Orchestra, as a tribute to its origins. In the autumn of 2006 they invited to Budapest to the Music Academy of Liszt. Duna Television has made a documentary about the ensemble, which was released in the same year, entitled “The Music of Ciuc and Salzburg” – The concert of the Csik Chamber Orchestra at the Music Academy (Liszt Ferenc Music Academy, Budapest, Hungary). Since 2008, the orchestra performs more than 6 concerts a year, and supports, organizes and oversees many other classical music events in the area. One of them is the Early Music Festival from Miercurea Ciuc, which is now internationally renowned and in 2019 celebrated its 39th-year anniversary; the series of Autumn Piano Evenings, launched in 2017; BonBon Matiné lecture concert series dedicated for the youth and many more.

„Egy ókori mítosz szerint Zeusz állította fel az olimpiai játékokat, miután legyőzte Kronoszt. Az olimpiáról minden hellénnek hírt kellett kapnia, hogy biztosan odaérjenek.” Sok év után ismét táncháztalálkozót hirdetünk Udvarhelyen, a 40 éves erdélyi táncházat ünnepelve és éltetve. Most adunk hírt jó előre, hogy mindenki biztosan oda- és ráérjen: szeptember 22-23, Székelyudvarhely. Mindenkit várunk. Találkozni jó. Öröm rég nem látott kollégát, barátot megölelni, öröm a szabott és beosztott időn kívüli (szabad) időt együtt eltölteni, hogy ismét és ismét átéljük a találkozás örömét, azt, hogy országtól - kortól - lakhelytől függetlenül a táncházban, a hagyományos paraszti kultúra szeretetében, összetartozunk. Tegyünk félre bánatot és fájdalmakat. Tegyünk félre munkát, lakodalmat, szórakozást és termény-betakarítást. Találkozzunk. És közösen ismét le fogjuk győzni az Időt. Kelemen László
