Soharóza

Soharóza, founded in 2008, experiments and improvises with the human voice, language, movement, folk music as well as composed pieces: continually searching for new forms and sounds. They have performed a slang-opera in a cave, organized gastronomical concerts, hosted a show in an abandoned power-station, and participated in flash mobs in Turkish baths – just to name a few of their unique appearances.

The group has recorded a studio album entirely of their own material, using different choral improvisational methods. They have also traveled abroad several times, the most memorable of which is their concert at the Hungarian Embassy of Berlin in 2010.

The conductor, Dóra Halas, is holder of the Rezső Lantos Award for Choral Conductors and received her doctorate from the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest, specializing in choral improvisation – a choral singing and teaching method developed by herself.

Budapest is the capital of Hungary, a city with almost 2 million inhabitants, situated on the banks of the river Danube. Its beautiful and historical architecture hosts a colorful artistic palette of all forms. We are especially proud of the vivid underground performing art life (music, theater, dance) unique to the whole of Europe.
