Balázs Hankó, the minister of culture and innovation, opened an exhibition on the life of piano legend György Cziffra at the House of Music Hungary on Tuesday.
Hankó said Hungarians could be proud to belong to a nation “that has given us giants” and “unfading” cultural icons such as Cziffra, “a great Hungarian and a great Hungarian pianist, whose magic is still with us today”.
Cziffra’s life, he added, was an example of humility, struggle and greatness.
Freedom of Music – Hommage to György Cziffra, curated in cooperation with the Hungarian Culture Foundation, the Petőfi Cultural Agency, House of Music Hungary and the Cziffra Festival, runs until Jan 26.
