A brief history of Hungarian radio broadcasts in Ottawa

Between 1999 and 2001, through the continuous intervention and significant support of President Lajos Győrffy and Secretary Károly Dombi of OHCC, it became possible for a Hungarian-language program to be created through the CHIN Ottawa’s Multicultural Radio Station.
Starting in June 2002, the CHIN radio network invited the leadership of the OHCC to participate in the CRTC hearings for the new multicultural broadcast in Ottawa, as a result of which the Hungarian Radio broadcast began in December 2003, led by Éva Hadházy.
From 2006, the program editing was taken over by Károly Dombi, who held this role until the end of May 2015. In recognition of his successful work over nine years, Károly Dombi was awarded the Golden Cross of Merit of Hungary.
You can search for programs broadcast between 2004 and 2015 on this website.

The Concert of the Virtuosos

On November 16th the Virtuosos Ensemble gave a frenetic concert in the Hungarian Community Centre. The programme consisted of well known, popular pieces in new arrangements by Apor Szűts. The compositions and the very talented young performers riveted the attention of the audience till the very end. One encore proved to be too little – the audience would have liked more but the intensity and virtuosity of the performance did not allow more from the players. Please, watch the recording, hopefully it will give you and idea of the atmosphere of the evening.
