Ötvös Györgyi: October 1957–October 2017. Interview with Ötvös Györgyi who spent the last 31 years organizing folk events, especially dance house events. She worked first at the iconic Molnár utca dance house, then when that center closed, at Aranytíz, both in Budapest’s 5th district. She worked closely with the bands, the dance teachers and participants to make these events interesting, fun and successful. Györgyi was trained as a “népművelő” – a cultivator of the people – or recreational/cultural organizer. Both of the above-mentioned venues were/are public recreational/cultural centers. Until about 2009 the host band playing for and hosting the dance houses at both these venues was Kalamajka. Presently several bands rotate the task of hosting and playing for the ongoing Saturday night dance houses at Aranytíz. In the spring of 2015 Györgyi was awarded the Halmos Béla Memorial Medal – recognizing her dedication and years of work. By Kulcsár Tímea Ágnes – appeared first on July 12, 2015 at www.fidelio.hu.
