Eszter Bíró’s show
Hungarian Jewish and Yiddish folk songs, compositions by Sándor Födő to poems by Ernő Szép and Miklós Radnóti performed by Eszter Bíró, actress and singer of Győr origin.
Eszter is connected to Győr and the Jewish community through her mother and grandparents. She dedicates her work to the memory of her grandparents and 40 relatives who died in the Shoa.
The Eszter Bíró Quintet started with the album “When will it be the already?”. The band has performed extensively in Hungary and abroad. At their concerts, gems of Hungarian poetry are mixed with Jewish folklore melodies in such a way that it is almost impossible to tell where the poem begins and the contemporary composition continues. Demanding music with outstanding performers from the Hungarian world music scene.
