The Hargita National Szekler Folkensemble from Csíkszereda(which currently is functioning as an institute of the citys self-government). Its work is based on 45 years of tradition, it has been professional level institution since 1990. Looking back to these 18 years, we can proudly say, that almost all of our initiatives have been successfully realised. Our shows and tours were followed permanently by dance-teaching courses, festivals, folk-dance camps and by dance houses. There were at about 5000 performance since foundation. The Ensemble would like to find every folk values and keep these. There are working more than 40 members in the institution. The originality and authenticity of our show are the results of the research – work and collection of the traditional folkloristic values in use today.

Beside the shows performed in the country, they also performed on the stage of several cities in Hungary, Austria, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Croatia, Slovenia, Ukraina, Slovakia, Sweden and they also enchanted the Oriental spectators, on the occasion of their tour to China.

Since 1997, we have organised the Festival of the First Violonists. Beside the entertainment, the festival is a chance to collect, to record and to edit the traditional folk music. And we often organise events like: The International Dance Camp from Gyimes, The Festival of the Thousand Szekler Girls, Festival of Folkmusic and Folkdance from Mezőség, I-IVX.“Csűrdöngölő” Children Folkdance Festival of the 1200 children.
