Szélanya

Szélanya (pronounced sail-ah-nya) from Hungarian mythology literally means "Mother of Winds" or "Wind Mother". According to folklore, she stores and guards the winds in a cave at the top of a tall mountain at the end of the world. If she feels slighted, she releases violent storm winds, and to some extent, the winds mirror her moods.
Szélanya was commissioned by the Curtis Institute of Music as part of Curtis 100 for 100, a multi-year initiative celebrating its 100th anniversary. Premiered by Christopher Correa, oboe and Daniel Benedict, harp on April, 15th 2025.
