Orbán attends Bogányi piano debut at Academy of Music

Prime Minister Viktor Orban attended a gala concert at the Academy of Music on Wednesday, marking the eve of the Day of Hungarian Culture, which was also the debut of a new, Hungarian-developed piano.

“We need to remember that it is only the ties of Hungarian culture that can make Hungarians a strong and great nation,” the prime minister said in his address at the event.

“Hungarian culture is a thread between parts of the nation torn off and drifted to different parts of the world,” he added.

Referring to the new piano, developed under the inspiration of Kossuth Prize-winning pianist Gergely Bogányi, Orbán said that the “magic instrument” featured all characteristics of the Hungarian nation, such as “unquenchable entrepreneurship, innovation, and the restlessness of the Hungarian spirit striving for perfection”.
