Program series
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.
This programme is held in Hungarian.

Our series Hangadó Senior is especially aimed at older participants, but of course we welcome anyone who is interested. The aim of the series is to act as a club and to playfully tell a chapter of music history in an hour-long interactive journey through time.

Rock and roll is, somewhat simplistically, the result of a particular cultural-historical fusion: that of when the musical traditions of Black slaves brought over from Africa met those of white settlers who had emigrated from Europe to the new world, the Americas. Moreover, all this took place in a radically transforming society, following technological progress and its associated industrialisation and urbanisation. In the second season of this series, we look at the social, cultural and musical events of the period from Elvis to the twilight of the rock and roll era in the Fifties.
Attention, action! - live studio workshop with producer András Weil and the Qualitons. A new, incredibly exciting series has begun at the House of Music! Listen, record!", you can take part in an exclusive recording session with well-known and very popular Hungarian bands.
I have deliberately left the words ‘music history’ out of the title. Although, of course, in my own case it is the basis of everything: my studies and more than 40 years of teaching. For me, however, music history is increasingly becoming a tool to see and, above all, to hear behind all great music and, inspired by the music, to imagine things that may or may not be true, but which enhance the experience of the encounter.
Subjective? Clearly it is: subjective fantasy in moments that only this deep and soaring art can create. I invoke words to accompany music, but the point lies in the gestures and in the experience of listening to music together. My aim is to draw the mysticism of music into an educational ritual. Those who want to learn from it are able to, of course, but the journey itself is more important, the thing that leads to the music and through it to its secrets. Let's slow down time together for a fleeting yet timeless hour.

From spring 2023, we have expanded our offering at the Pop Culture Club Library with a new format: live music. There is hardly a corner of the House of Music where there has not been an instrumental performance, and our library has also passed this test, with memorable acoustic club concerts finding a home among the bookshelves.
As part of the Fringe programme launched to support the mission of the House of Music, Hungary, we invited applicants in three categories – music school students, music hobbyists, and up-and-coming bands and street musicians – to take advantage of the opportunity to perform in various spots around the building. In line with the mission of the institution, the Musicians of the Future programme series provides an opportunity to showcase promising young musicians – primarily music school students – at the House of Music through short concerts in our communal areas.
One of the cornerstones of the House of Music is music education. Its goal is to make the joy of music accessible to as many people as possible.
Jazz club for people older and younger than 100 years.
