ZEN, ZAZEN, MEDITATION

Zen is a practice and a tool. Zen is a means of changing our consciousness and our fulfillment. By practicing Zen, we get rid of the confusion of our thoughts, the restlessness, the constant buzz that burdens our consciousness. Although Buddhism preserved this ancient practice in its purest form, Zen is not a religion. Zen is a practical path, a method that transcends all classification.

Viktor Pári has been practicing Zen meditation for more than eight years. Member of the One Drop Zen group in Hungary. He arrived at Posticum in 2021 and had an important role, when Imre Rencsik, the founder of the house, reorganized the hospitality with Niklaus Brantschen, a Swiss Jesuit monk, and started the Zen Hostel. Zen Hostel is run by Posticum and the One Drop Zen community. Every day in the morning and in the evening between 7 and 8:30 Viktor leads a Zen meditation in the house. Those interested can contact him in person, and he will give an introduction to beginners.

István „Taikyo“ Szaladják is the leader of the Hungarian One Drop Zen Community, and is a student of Zen master Taigen Shodo Harada. Béla Balázs award-winning feature film cameraman and director, previously taught at Budapest Metropolitan University. It was István Szaladják „Taikyo“ who brought Zen to the Posticum. Our artistic and spiritual advisor, our friend.

Taigen Shodo Harada Roshi is a Japanese Zen master and the leading master of the international sangha (Zen community) of One Drop Zen. His students have founded many One Drop communities around the world, which are in constant contact with him. Practitioners regularly visit Japan to further deepen their knowledge and experience at the Harada roshi monastery.
Since 2016, the roshi (i.e. master) has been regularly visiting and holding sesshin (retreats) at the Posticum.

Primul concert al terasei de jazz de vară deschide anul de 25 de ani de la Posticum. Programul coincide cu ultima ședință internațională (retragere) a călugărului iezuit elvețian și a maestrului zen Niklaus Brantschen. Programul este o mare întâlnire. Textele sacre și melodiile străvechi se întâlnesc cu jazz-ul și improvizațiile dansatoarei din Zurich Marianne Kaiser. Drept rămas bun, putem auzi câteva sfaturi personale de la maestrul zen Niklaus Brantschen: despre întâlnirea, sosirea și trăirea la maximum a vieții.

Concertele de Jazz pe terasa Posticum sunt gratuite – În schimb, sugerăm oaspeților noștri să facă o donație de 25 RON pentru cazului social al adolescentei Vivien Kiraly (https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=756970056568888&set=a.432213729044524).

A Program egy nagy találkozás. A szent szövegek és az ősi dallamok találkoznak a dzsesszel és Marianne Kaiser zürichi táncművésznő impovizációival. Búcsúzásul néhány személyes tippet hallhatunk Niklaus Brantschen zen mestertől: találkozásról, megérkezésről, a teljes életről.

A Posticum Jazzterasz koncertek ingyenesek. 25 lejes adományával Király Vivien súlyos műtétjét támogathatja  (https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=756970056568888&set=a.432213729044524).

ZEYLA’s SINGING CIRCLE

Hey beautiful Soul, Let’s play!
Vocea ta vrea să cânte, așa-i?
Te invităm la o sesiune de joacă muzicală cu mult groove și muultă libertate de exprimare.
Prin improvizație vocală și ritmică, mișcare intuitivă, toning și playful songwriting vom descoperi rezonanță proprie, vom elibera ce vrea sa fie spus și vom crea ceva frumos ce n-a mai fost.
Pe langă toate acestea, vom cânta muzica făcută pe loc, printr-o tehnica numita Circle Singing, pe care Zeyla a învățat-o de la Bobby McFerrin (Don’t Worry, Be Happy).
Aceasta tehnica este mult iubită în țările vestice, pentru că oferă libertatea de a crea muzică spontană în grupuri de la 2 și până la câteva sute de oameni.
Mircea Ardeleanu ne va susține cu groove-uri internaționale fantastice la darbuka, udu și alte instrumente de percuție.
Așadar, te așteptăm cu drag în data de 5.4, ora 19:00 La Posticum, Oradea.

Ce te așteaptă, într-o privire:
Circle Songs
Cantat solistic
Ritm si Body-percussion
Groove-uri a cappella
Playful songwriting
Jocuri muzicale
Dans liber
Workshop-ul este potrivit pentru toți iubitorii de muzică indiferent de pregătirea lor muzicală.

Ne bucurăm că ne vedem în curând!

March 22. – 5pm // MAKÁM 40 – Instrumental

Friday
March 22., 5pm

MAKÁM 40 – INSTRUMENTAL

Bede Sári – vocals
Rácz Gabriella – violin
Vázsonyi János – saxofon
Krulik Zoltán – guitar
Bata istván – bass
Varró Zoltán – drums

A Makám az etno- folk és világzene egyik legrégibb hazai képviselője. Az együttes Európa számos országában koncertezett Párizstól Várnáig, Krakkótól Splitig, és turnézott Indiában is. Zenéjükben a magyar népzene mellett a Távol-Kelet, a Balkán, a jazz és a kortárszene hatása is fellelhető. Hangzásvilágát az etnikus és a hagyományos európai hangszerek együtthangzása tették egyedivé.  Legújabb korszakát a magyar népzene archaikus formái s a dal újrafelfedezése jellemzi.
A közelmúltban megjelent lemezeik személyes hangvételű stílusát, egzotikus ritmusok és lírai vallomások meghitt elegye adja. A Bartók és Kodály nevével fémjelzett örökség, az archaikus kultúrák és a kor zenei elemeinek szintézise a Makám változatlan hitvallása.

— — —
Makám is one of the oldest Hungarian representatives of ethno-folk and world music. The ensemble gave concerts in many European countries, from Paris to Varna, from Krakow to Split, and also toured in India. In addition to Hungarian folk music, the influence of the Far East, the Balkans, jazz and contemporary music can be found in their music. Its sound world is made unique by the harmony of ethnic and traditional European instruments. Their latest era is characterized by the archaic forms of Hungarian folk music and the rediscovery of the song. Their recently released records have a personal style, an intimate mixture of exotic rhythms and lyrical confessions. The heritage marked by the names of Bartók and Kodály, the synthesis of archaic cultures and the musical elements of the age is the unchanging creed of Makám.

SZAKCSI LAKATOS ROBERT

 – piano solo concert –

An exceptionally gifted pianist, at home in both jazz and classical music. He walked away with the first prize from the solo piano competition at the 2000 Montreux Jazz Festival. In 2005 he was voted best soloist at the Avignon International Jazz Festival. Since then he has established a serious reputation for himself in the world of jazz. Jack DeJohnette, one of the jazz giants he has played with, had this to say: „I believe Robert is one of the best young pianists on the jazz scene today”.
Another one-time musical partner, John Patitucci gave the following opinion on Robert’s playing: „His sound and touch on the piano are highly developed and very lyrical” Apart from DeJohnette and Patitucci, Robert has played with the likes of Reggie Johnson, Palle Danielsson, Jojo Mayer, Erik Truffaz, Randy Brecker, Bill Evans,Rick Margitza, Hiram Bullock, Ravi Coltrane, Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, Hungarian Radio Symphonic Orchestra – and the list is far from complete.
In Japan, which is the biggest market for jazz today, Robert Lakatos has already recorded seven albums and the eighth is about to be launched with Gregory Hutchinson on the drums. Robert is a member of the Bolla Quartet.

„How is it in this wide world to discover unknown feelings and sounds in the familiar, the familiar in the unknown. To spin with the earth, to travel on the flow, to meet unexpected homeliness in places not yet visited. We have embarked on an adventurous journey together in this wide world, and we are still at the beginning, we are looking forward to continuing!” (Bori Magyar)

Bori Magyar has been an active singer in Hungarian ethno and world music since 2007. As an imprint of her musical inspirations over the past ten years, she produced her first solo album, which she will present at Opus too. She invited the instrumental contributors to the album, who are also the dominant representatives of Hungarian world music, from her current and former fellow musicians. Based on her own ideas, the singer commissioned Zoltán Mizsei and Dániel Kardos to arrange the music of the album, which draws mainly from the traditional music sources of Hungarian and other nationalities.
