On György Kurtág's 100th birthday, we are presenting the latest Hangdóm film, Kurtág-univerzum (Kurtág Universe), in honor of the composer, in which György Kurtág's abstract mood sketches come to life to the sounds of the cycle Zwiegespräch, composed with his son, György Kurtág Jr. in the special space of the House of Music. The 15-minute Sound Dome film Kurtág-univerzum, produced by the Budapest Music Center as part of the Kurtág 100 program series, will remain available for viewing among the Hangdóm 360 cinema screenings after the premiere.
The content was created by BMC and its partner, the Paul Sacher Stiftung.
The concerts of our Tuned to Piano program series can easily captivate those who are still far from the world of romantic piano literature, while they also hold new experiences for those who come to the House of Music Hungary as black-belt classical music fans.
Those of us who still remember how we used to listen to music back when Little Richard sang from shiny black vinyl discs also know what playing records gave music fans: time dedicated to listening to the music with deep absorption, printed lyrics to browse and memorable album covers. And there was even more, because the medium itself influenced the songwriting: the very designation of sides A and B of singles raised the question of the priority and order of the songs, which brought with it the genesis and application of the musical or ideological concept that served as the organising principle behind the entire album.

The House of Music, Hungary is launching a new, entertaining series: music quizzes in the Pop Culture Club Library! Do your friends no longer even have to open Shazam, they immediately know just to ask you? Is Spotify one of your favourite apps? Is your Facebook wall regularly filled with fun music facts? Do you maintain carefully curated playlists? Have you ever played a newly discovered song to your puzzled friends and then had to explain, with considerable effort, what makes it such great music? If you recognise yourself in the above, then this might not be such a big secret for you, but you are a die-hard music fan! Just like us. Just for you and music gurus like ourselves, we have created the Dammit, I Knew That! quiz series, held in the Pop Culture Club Library of the House of Music, Hungary.
This program is held in Hungarian.

In 2026, we will once again welcome visitors with a week-long, exclusive program: re-screenings of our popular films combined with audience Q&As, the debut of two new Sound Dome films, and, as a further novelty, the launch of two new series at once – Sound Dome concerts and 360° concert films – with a performance by Meybahar, accompanied by a screening of our film DOME 016 Csontváry: Levante, as well as recordings of two previous House of Music concerts (Makrohang, Vad Fruttik), which we adapted to the dome's 360° space and sound system to give everyone a very special experience with these short concert films.
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.
