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.
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.
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.
"Sound/Man" is a special series of conversational and musical shows where well-known musicians share their personal experiences and creative secrets as storytellers.
Take a look around the indoor spaces of the House of Music Hungary with an expert music teacher as your guide! The best thing about our building tour is that it is not just about architecture, but also the music created and performed in the spaces! Why? Who for? How?
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.
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.
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.
