Orbán Attends Bogányi Piano Debut At Academy Of Music
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán attended a gala concert at the Ferenc Liszt 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, addressing the event. “Hungarian culture is a thread between parts of the nation torn off and drifted to different parts of the world.”

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

The prime minister said not only had the idea for the new piano been born in Hungary, but its creators had also found financial support for its development in the country.
