Back in the first half of the 1950’s, Bán Korsos, the director of the
village school of Pernau (Pornóapáti), started a music band, thus giving
the more musically talented of his pupils an opportunity to show off and
expand their musical skills. In no time, the little group of nine pupils
made such fine music that its reputation traveled beyond Pernau and
performed in neighboring villages and even Szombathely (Steinamanger),
where it won first prize in a young musicians’ competition. Fifty-two
years went by before the band members saw each other again. It happened
last summer, in the Pinka Valley between Vaskeresztes (Großdorf) and
Csatár (Schilding). |
