Andras Aron has a very unique approach to his songwriting and lyrics. Following the footsteps of Neil Young, he is more like a storyteller with an Eastern-European way of humor and self-expression. Despite being very well known in the Hungarian heavy metal scene, he brings a new context between the boundaries of Americana / Country music and grunge / alternative music from the heart of Europe. The inspiration to launch his solo career came from his need to find a new way to express his own struggles.

In 2010, Andras released his first LP ‘Feathers, Black Flowers’, an entire album that reflects on his childhood, growing up to be a deep artistic thinker. In 2016 he released his long awaited second LP titled ‘Foxes’. Inspired by his insomnia, nightmares and frustrations in a confident but self ironic form of lyrics such as ‘Personal Demon’ or ‘Foxes’. Andras also played at professional showcase events like MENT or Poznan’s SpringBreak, or ESNS19’, Tallinn Music Week. Also supported Tim Vantol during his European tour, and played Lollapalooza Berlin. In 2017 he released his third record ‘Stranger’. With songs like ‘Stranger’, ‘I Want You To Miss Me’ Andras not only defined himself as an author, but he also found his own voice through his songs – it’s fragile, sensitive and real in every second of it. In 2018 he started working on his upcoming 4th full length album titled ‘Book of Changes’ which was released in autumn of 2020. Year later released a ‘band version’ of the album titled ‘Changes’ with the Black Circle Orchesetra.

In 2023 he is about to release his 5th album, ‘The Moment’, which was recorded in Tennessee, Nashville, at Prime Recording Studio with producer / engineer  Derek Garten.

22:00 – 22:15 Havdala – Farewell Saturday afternoon service
Participants: Péter Radvánszki, György Gádor
Venue: courtyard

Participants: Péter Radvánszki, György Gádor, Miklós Budai

As a guest of the Páva Street community, you can take part in the Hávdála, the Sabbath’s outcome ceremony. Hávdálá means “separation”. When Shabbat or the holiday arrives, Jews mark the beginning of something special and holy by saying the kiddush on a glass of wine. When the Sabbath or holiday is over, the Havdalah is a reminder to distinguish between the sacred and the ordinary, between light and darkness, between the Sabbath and the weekday. Havdalah is therefore an important part of the Shabbat rituals.

During the Havdalah ceremony, a candle is lit from several strands, the prayer “Behold the God of my salvation” and a line from the Book of Esther are recited, followed by blessings on wine, fragrant spices and light. Finally, they say the prayer of separation of the Sabbath and the weekday (Hamavdil). They drink the wine and then use some of the leftovers to extinguish the candle.

Venue: permanent exhibition

The theme of the permanent exhibition is the Hungarian Holocaust. Its aim is to narrate and present the suffering, persecution and murder of Hungarian citizens, Jews and Roma, who were condemned to physical extermination by racial ideology. The leitmotif of the exhibition is the relationship between the state and the citizen. From 1938 onwards, the Hungarian state gradually deprived a specific group of its citizens of everything that makes a human being human: his rights, his possessions, his freedom, his dignity and, ultimately, his very life. This process was accelerated to the point of extinction in 1944, after the German occupation.
