Program series
The programme is held in Hungarian.
The fourth season of the country's bravest musical board game, Vibe Changers, began at the Outdoor Stage of the House of Music! This unique venture combines a club night series and a talent show, created by Budapest's two most renowned improvisation teams with great success in 2022. The love child of Random Trip and Seven Seconds In the Future is a fusion of an improvisational concert and an open mic night. Moreover, the event series is free this year!
The Night of the Museums 2025 will take place on 21 June 2025 in Hungary, with cultural programmes, exhibitions, concerts, interactive events and many more surprises awaiting visitors to the country's biggest cultural event on this special summer night!
We are welcoming the whole family to our outdoor stage with ever more exciting concerts, performances and activities at 10:30 every Saturday throughout the summer! Our series is not only dedicated to a wide variety of musical genres – from jazz through Hungarian and African folk music to classical music – but also to some great artists who may be less familiar to the general public but who really deserve more attention.
The new, exclusive series of the House of Music continues in the Sound Dome, in the second act of From Dusk to Dawn, we are once again waiting for our more adventurous guests for an all-night audiovisual journey.
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.
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.
On the last weekend of May and the first weekend of June, the music scene of Szeged will be on display at the House of Music. The City in the House series embodies the House's missionary commitment to offer a wide variety of genres and educational programmes, while also providing an opportunity for future talents to showcase their skills. Saturday's cavalcade in Szeged will feature a wide range of programmes, from classical music - led by the Szeged Symphony Orchestra in a Saturday evening concert - to the Béla Kövér Puppet Theatre, folk music and jazz productions, and educational talks.
In this series introducing us to some great personalities, Gábor Turi’s Open University of Jazz will introduce visitors to the significant stages of a long life journey. Jazz has been a widely familiar concept for well over a century now, and a library of literature has been written about it. Conventionally described as the ‘music of improvisation’, the ‘folk music of the 20th century’, ‘rhythmic improvisational music’ or ‘the music of freedom’ – jazz is more than anything else a music of performers.
