On Tuesday, May 5, 2026, Oroszlány celebrates Mother’s Day with a candlelit concert that leans into heart, harmony, and the songs families grew up with. At 6:00 p.m., the Kölcsey Ferenc Cultural Center and Library opens its doors at 2840 Oroszlány, Szent Borbála Square (Szent Borbála tér) 1, hosting Szívhangok – a Mother’s Day Duet Night where two standout Hungarian voices share the stage: singer Szilvia Agárdi and singer-songwriter Attila László. Tickets start at $15.30, and the evening promises carefully chosen classics that land with genuine warmth and gratitude.
Agárdi, a Szenes Iván Prize–winning vocalist who rose to national fame on The Voice in 2012, brings a luminous, unforced tone and an intimate style that channels emotion without showboating. Her performances are known for their honesty and the kind of stillness that lets a lyric breathe. Across from her, Attila László—Fonogram-winning artist and the 2011 winner of Hungary’s Got Talent (Csillag születik)—steps in with a sensitive delivery and a singular timbre that has made him a defining figure in contemporary Hungarian pop. He’s equally at ease shaping his own songs and leaning into the canon, giving Hungarian standards a lived-in sincerity.
What they’re after is simple and disarming: a musical thank-you to mothers. Expect a set list that threads love, gratitude, and shared time through some of the most beautiful Hungarian songs, arranged to let two distinct voices meet in the middle. The show’s title, Szívhangok—literally “Heartbeats”—sets the tone: it’s less spectacle than closeness, the kind of room where a soft melody redraws the distance between stage and audience. If Mother’s Day calls for a gift that lingers, this is the one to wrap gently and hand over at the door.
When, where, and how to get in
The concert starts Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Kölcsey Ferenc Cultural Center and Library, 2840 Oroszlány, Szent Borbála Square (Szent Borbála tér) 1. Tickets start at $15.30.

Make it a full evening
Right on site, EnBo’s café-bar operates on the ground floor of the Oroszlány Community Space and Library. You can reach it from the main entrance or the street. EnBo’s flexes its hours to match events, and it’s a regular meeting point for locals—somewhere for a coffee or a drink to talk through life’s big themes before or after the show. If your Mother’s Day flow includes a toast or a quiet debrief, you’ll find a table here.
Turn the concert into a getaway
Oroszlány sits within striking distance of green slopes, calm lakes, and quietly grand hotels. If you’re stretching the treat into a night away, nearby options range from boutique stillness to classic splendor.
– By Old Lake (Öreg-tó) in Tata, Malom és Kacsa Boutique Hotel **** Superior blends period charm with modern pampering in a lakeside setting built for inspiration—romantic breaks or active days both fit. Expect premium touches and a historical atmosphere wrapped around real downtime.
– In the heart of Mór—capital of one of Hungary’s historic wine regions, at the meeting of the Vértes and Bakony ranges—you’ll find a regional boutique hotel tucked into a nearly 300-year-old side street. Its 25 rooms and five apartments feature painted and carved Austrian pieces reminiscent of the area’s Swabian heritage, alongside rooms finished with domestic Old German furniture and an entire corridor dressed in Neo-Baroque style.
– Also in Mór, a wellness hotel on the city’s edge looks out over the hills, pairing 31 rooms and four suites with a breakfast room, pool bar, and a spa wing. Furnished with designs by Austria’s Voglauer, the spaces lean modern-elegant. A standout: the honeymoon room, fitted with Austrian rustic folk furniture and a canopy bed.
– For aristocratic calm, a Classicist castle hotel welcomes guests within a 124-acre park. Rooms occupy the north and south wings, named for members of the count’s family and for gems of the Bakony. The kitchen moves between Hungarian and French specialties, served plated, family-style, or buffet.
Nature next door
If your Mother’s Day plan tilts outdoors, the southern edge of the Vértes Mountains hides Gánt, a German-heritage village called the Pearl of the Vértes. Think ringed-by-hills scenery, clean air, and the protected Vértes Landscape Area with its rich biodiversity and rare flora and fauna. It’s a favorite for hikers and anyone who wants to trade rush for hush. Since 1995, local tourist houses have run forest schools and summer camps focused on crafts and environmental education—trips that let you marvel at what you see and understand it, too.
At Gánt–Kőhányás, tucked into the foothills, nature and history share the same page. Dense forests and bright meadows make easy work of decompression, drawing in walkers and weekenders alike. And over in the Gerecse, a lakeside key house by an arboretum has been freshly renewed, offering a fully equipped spot for up to 10—families, student groups, retirees, or hikers—who want quiet wrapped in green.
If you’re angling for something more homespun, the Almafa Guesthouse in Aka, at the foot of the Bakony, keeps it simple: two triple rooms with private baths and a kitchen-dining area. A big terrace, fire pit for kettles, and a wood-fired oven round it out, with the surrounding area doing the heavy lifting for activities.
Plan the serenade, pick the stay, and let Oroszlány’s Mother’s Day sing the rest. Organizers may adjust the schedule or program, so a quick check-in before you head out is always wise. Share the plan, invite the family, and celebrate the people who hold it all together.
