The Story
A new concert series in partnership with the National Library in Jerusalem aims to bring themes from the library's collections to life through music. The final concert of the series is dedicated to Professor André Hajdu—an acclaimed composer, teacher, and ethnomusicologist—marking a decade since his passing. The program focuses on Hajdu’s years in his native Hungary, as a disciple of Zoltán Kodály, when he began traveling through villages, documenting the folk melodies of the Roma people, and developing his unique musical language.
