The Advent children’s programme of the Dongó Együttes brings us the atmosphere of the winter holiday season with the best of Hungarian and foreign children’s poems and folk poems, from the dance of snowflakes to the music of the fairy godmother and the adventures of a cold snowman to the starry night of Christmas.
Children can try their hand at making music on stage, and the most skilful can solve riddles set to music for small gifts.

Since its inception in 1976, the orchestra’s music has been defined by the hundreds of poems it has written, from which it has sought to draw out the melodies they contain.
Their unique sound is a combination of polyphonic vocals, classical, folk and modern instruments, including guitar, violin, oboe, clarinet, classical and folk flutes, mandolin, banjo, accordion and percussion. As with the variety of the poems they use, the group’s sound is a hundred different: folksy, playful, serious, festive, funny or sublime – whatever the mood of the poem calls for.
The Dongó Együttes will perform their winter show on 13 December at the Advent in Debrecen.
