The Open Arms project is the result of a tour during which Oran Etkin, an Israeli-born clarinetist living in the US, visited and recorded music with authentic folk musicians from Brazil, Zimbabwe, USA, Canada, the Czech Republic and Turkey.

The welcoming title, Open Arms, refers to the importance of creating together and listening to each other.

His tour and the project continue with Bea Palya now adding her songs to Oran's growing repertoire at the House of Music Hungary. Palya Bea's personal world music – her own compositions inspired by the music of various ancient peoples – meets Etkin's cosmopolitan world music.

Prior to the concert, from 17:30, Oran Etkin will give a one-hour interactive talk in English, principally focusing on the musician-community-audience relationship slogan.

Place: House Of Hungarian Music Budapest
