The Big Tent and the jazz-boat, anchored at the Nehru Embankment, are the main venues, although the opening and the final concerts will be staged at Budapest’s state-of-the-art Palace of Arts (MÜPA). Other performances will take place in the Ráday Street cafés and the Pinceszínház (Cellar Theatre), the Sanyi és Aranka Theatre and at the Hotel Ibis.

Amongst the many guest artistes will be the virtuoso Armenian-Hungarian accordionist David Yengibarjan.

David Yengibarjan (born 1976) moved from Armenia to Hungary in 1995, and is one of the most well-known and sought-after accordionists. He has participated in a great number of theatrical and film productions both as a performer (Bertold Brecht: ‘Jungle of the Cities’, Andor Lukáts: ‘Portugal’, Joye Sergent: ‘Crime and Punishment’) and as a composer (Ferenc Molnár: ‘Liliom, András Szoke’: ‘Three’, György Farkas: ‘Blood Line’, András Fésos: ‘Street Heart Beat’, Zoltán Egressy: ‘Blue, Blue, Blue’, Tamás Sas: ‘Struck by Love’, Kinga Rófusz: ‘Harlequin’, Andor Szilágyi: ‘Letters Unsent’).

He has played in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Edinburgh. He founded his own group, the Trio Yengibarjan, in 1999, after recording the film music of ‘Holstein Lovers’ (which has a tango theme). His aspiration is to create a fusion of the Argentinean tango, the ‘New Tango’ of Astor Piazzolla, and various types of folk music. On his CD, ‘Tango Passion’, he plays with József Horváth Barcza (bass) and Gábor Juhász (guitar.
