This May, follow the scent of the peony to the gates of the Magic Garden, where nature and the court folk are preparing for a grand celebration! 🌹
We are looking for brave squires and ladies-in-waiting who will prove their mettle by passing the seven trials, so that at the end of the day we may welcome them as members of the Pentecost court!
Join us in this fairy-tale celebration, and let’s welcome the holiday together on the Dürer Enchanted Garden’s latest adventure!

ROARING BASTION
pBone workshop
The SZÖGI PROJECT centers on the trombone and folk music—you’ve never heard a combo like this before. It was all conceived by the wild child from Vojvodina, István Szögi, who presents folk music motifs from a completely new angle. The sound is further enriched by the incredibly versatile vocals of Junior Príma Award winner Bori Fekete.
