8th of June 2024, Saturday, 8.30 pm Concert by The King’s Singers
Tihany Benedictine Abbey dates back a millennium and features among the most ancient and most widely visited ecclesiastical site in Hungary. The crown of Balaton, the abbey that guards the King heralds the Christian and cultural values of both Hungarians and Europe. The world-renowned King’s Singers, founded in 1968, appeals to the audience through the tunes of faith, hope, and harmony for the first time at this sacred site. Let us bear witness to royal singers performing at a royal place, let us succumb to the touch of spirited church music. Let us experience the peace of mind that the Abbey has been radiating for a thousand years. Peace to those who come, blessing to those who leave!
