Invitation to celebrate and support the Hungarian Cultural Garden

Celebrating Liszt and St. Stephen, the Hungarian Cultural Garden committee put together  a remarkably entertaining event with perfect summer weather, a major tree planting and general good time on Sunday, August 14th, 2010.

Outstanding musicians from America’s pre-eminent musical conservatories playing Liszt and Kodály, among others to enthusiastic applause: Vera Holczer on piano and Ariel Clayton on violin.  Theodore Horvath’s strong and melodic voice lead everyone in the US national anthem and Himnusz (national anthem of Hungary).  Greg Polyak ably MC’d the event.  Lel Somogyi gave detailed exposition on St. Stephen’s place in Hungarian history and the always most generous landscaper Ed Radick gave tours after the program, answered questions about the Garden and went on planting trees.

Generous supporters of the Hungarian Garden planted 22 new hawthorns at the Garden’s East Blvd entrance:  Carolyn and Jim Balogh, Jenny Brown, Cleveland Hungarian Development Panel, Phil and Susan Ertel, Judit Puskas, Kori and Tom Smith, and St. Emeric Altar Guild.  Ably assisted by the remarkable Ernie Mihaly.

See the following selected photos of the event:
