The Folk Ensemble in Debrecen has been running since 1953, when it was formed as part of the Kölcsey Cultural Center.
The Ensemble is formed of seven amateur groups, containing 400 members in total, with the youngest participants just 6 years old.
They give performances about 60 times per year, and their repertoire includes a mixture of traditional and original materials.
They are also able to represent unique folk styles from across the Hungarian speaking areas of Europe.
