The series of AEGON evenings titled Cultivated Associations and launched in September 2006 soon attracted great attention. Leading figures from the Hungarian arts world have been the guest of Róbert Alföldi. The evenings are not podium discussions, although the opportunity of a personal meeting bringing the audience closer to the individual creative worlds is important. In keeping with the title Cultivated Associations, the combination of different branches of the arts is also important: the principal invited guest is always a contemporary Hungarian writer but the other guest represents a different branch of the arts, and music also has a big place in these genre-crossing evenings based on readings, intimate conversation and the presentation of images. The music never serves simply to set the mood. The musician selected to match the two guests responds to the happenings of the evening, adding his or her own feelings and thoughts to what is heard and seen. In this way the Cultivated Associations evenings give rise to exciting and novel associations of ideas.
