Marianna Falusi in Concert, Café Sabarsky at Neue Galerie New York


	A yearlong festival showcasing contemporary Hungarian visual, performing, and literary arts in New York and Washington, D.C., throughout 2009, organized by the Hungarian Cultural Center, NY

Marianna Falusi was born in Hungary in 1959. Falusi has performed primarily jazz and pop music since 1983 when she appeared on "Hungary's Got Talent." She has performed in musicals (Little Shop of Horrors, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Oliver), opera (Óriáscsecsemő), film (Laura, Professor Ambar), operetta (The Land of Happiness) and theatrical productions (Twelfth Night). She was also a member of the successful pop duo Pa-Dö-Dő, which has released 20 albums.

The Café’s European glamour provided the perfect setting for the versatile Hungarian singer Marianna Falusi. The inspiration for her cabaret is derived from Kati Marton’s book The Great Escape, reminiscent of nine great men fleeing Nazi-occupied Budapest who became hugely influential scientists, photographers, film directors, and writers.

Ms. Falusi also performed at Drom and Galapagos Art Space.
