‘Artist of the Nation' Award winning architect and Regular Member of the Hungarian Academy of Arts Sándor Dévényi's name sounds familiar to all of us. Not so long ago two of the buildings of his design – the Gate of Gerecse Visitor Centre, situated near the Tatabánya-based (Hungary) statue of Hungary's mythological bird, and a pavilion in the village of Görcsöny – opened their gates. And recently, an exhibition showcasing his and Péter Pásztor's works opened in the Slovakia-based Kosice. Pesti Vigadó interviewed architect Sándor Dévényi about his career, organic architecture and his lifework exhibition staged in Pesti Vigadó from 1st February 2019.

In the year 2019, Kaláka Folk Music Ensemble will perform several events in Pesti Vigadó in commemoration of the following anniversaries: the 80th birthday of Hungarian poet and playwright Anna Kiss, the 90th anniversary of the birth of Hungarian poet and translator Sándor Kányádi, and the 100th anniversary of the death of Hungarian poet Endre Ady. Pesti Vigadó interviewed founder of the Ensemble and Executive Director of Gryllus Publishing Dániel Gryllus about the above events and the secret behind the 50-year-old band's success.

Pesti Vigadó interviewed Krisztina Kókay about her celebratory exhibition entitled '75 – Miracles of Lines and also asked about her artistic career spanning over a period of more than four decades.

"If there is a time in your life to celebrate, make sure to celebrate fully," writes Hungarian novelist Sándor Márai.
