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 crown jewel of the House of Music's Creative Sound Space, which opened in 2022, is an experimental organ that can truly be called a Hungarian treasure. Dániel Váczi developed the concept for the installation largely based on ideas that György Ligeti had already envisioned for the organ of the future in the 1960s.
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.
Mini jazz festival at the House of Music on April 16-17! New jazz on the horizon – Two days of jazz at the House is primarily aimed at jazz fans, but we also cater to all music lovers in general, with two of the genre's contemporary heavyweights – the British trio Mammal Hands and the Brazilian Amaro Freitas – performing on consecutive days.
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.
Are you open to new things? Do you trust House of Music? Are you brave enough to come to a concert where all we reveal is that it will be a true House of Music experience? And if it weren't a secret, we would also reveal how many performances you get for the price of one ticket. Maybe not just one.
"Sound/Man" is a special series of conversational and musical shows where well-known musicians share their personal experiences and creative secrets as storytellers.
Singing together is a good thing - whether during a trip to Lake Balaton in the car with our friends, at a concert singing our favorite songs, or singing happy birthday to a family member. There is great magic in communal singing, and that's why we have invited four wonderful female singers to introduce us to the secrets of each genre. They bring well-known and lesser-known songs so that through them, they can introduce us to the musical language of each style and, under their guidance, we can perform the songs together.
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.
