Program series
Concert at lunchtime! Lunch at a concert!
The House of Music's latest series – Lunchtime concerts – means you can enjoy short concerts by young talents at lunchtime. This series features music from students of the Academy of Music, and the 35-minute mini-concerts are complemented by a meal.
The aim of the series is to draw attention to one of the most important parts of Hungarian heritage, the Roma music of the cafés, which sadly is increasingly neglected nowadays.
In the underground levels of the House of Music Hungary lies the Sound Dome. This is where the program begins, with a short film providing an unusual acoustic and visual experience, after which the visitors are shown an increasing number of similar films.
SOUNDING WALKS are thematic guided events - in the permanent exhibition space - that can be visited in series, but can also be a complete event on its own. Music teacher Dóra Tápai, the lecturer of the successful Hangadó Senior music history series, will guide those interested through the halls of the exhibition according to the given topics. What we see and hear, and what is still behind it! Interesting facts, entertaining educational in an hour, after which visitors can enjoy the exhibition on their own.
In our talent showcase programme, in partnership with the Hangfoglaló Programme, bands and singer-songwriters selected for the Start-up Performers sub-programme can be seen in free concerts during the summer.
This programme is held in Hungarian.
Our special Hangadó Senior series, entitled Musical Landscapes. It is linked to our temporary exhibition "Musical Journey Around the World". We look at the great folk music landscapes of the Carpathian Basin. Ethnography, folk dance, folk music, customs, we "travel" to many magical landscapes that hold secrets unknown to many, in a 90-minute interactive performance. For the first time, Sándor Petőfi's lines will be our guide, as we explore the typical dances, folk music and art of the region so beloved by the poet!
This programme is held in Hungarian.
The highly successful Salsa in the Park dance program will entertain Latin music enthusiasts this summer and early fall on the Outdoor Stage of the House of Music. At the free events in 2025, alongside the Budapest-based Son tres band, José DJ Cuba's Latin sets and Bea's dance lessons will expand the program. The DJ sets and band blocks will alternate.
