	Modern Dance: Viktor Szeri - I Quit Ordinary Dancing Spontaneous street scenes, bodies moving intuitively to music, and the source of pleasure, however, is not in the beauty of the movements or the linearity of the story - both the artist and the audience work toward catharsis. Friday 7 March - Trafó Budapest
	Jazz Concert: Shadowlands - Many Moons The trio has refined its language and has developed a free yet dazzlingly clear way of floating between traditional Sean Os songs, poems by Emily Dickinson and Yeats and a Sainte by Maurice Ravel cohabit with original compositions. Saturday 8 March - Opus Jazz Club Budapest
	World Music: Femi Kuti & Positive Force Concert Femi is a major artist who has brought his spiritual heritage into the modern day and who's concerts are always an occasion to both celebrate world music and take a stand in favour of social justice. Sunday 9 March - National Concert Hall Budapest
	Youth Event: Brilliant Twenty Somethings This programme seeks the answer to the following question: Do the youth of every era all throw themselves into a new love affair with the same passion, and do they share the same attitude to the question of ‘the meaning of life’?
