Program series

From 14 January, the completely renovated Sound Dome will reopen with a full programme for the House of Music's unique, immersive cinematic room, where works made especially for the hemispherical screen are transformed into a true spatial experience. 

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 concerts in our series are designed to highlight the diversity of music. Classical, jazz and popular music are all part of the series, so if you attend our events, you will soon see that music truly has a thousand faces. What is more, following the concerts, the performers provide an opportunity to get to know the instruments that were played during the performance and take a closer look at them. Put another way, taking part in a musical journey has never been easier.

Recommended age: 5 years and up.

The language of the events are hungarian. 

This program will be held in Hungarian.

Árpád Tóth's interactive educational series Hangadó, which coincides with the House, has entered its 4th season.In 2025/26 we are preparing double performances, so we also welcome those who like to sleep late on Sundays: our performances will be repeated at 14:00 in addition to the usual 11:00 start. This year, we will continue to explore the known and less known chapters of a thousand years of music history in a unique cross-section and with an unusual perspective, while the basic theme of the performances remains the same: it is simply impossible not to go home humming.

The Transparent Sound New Music Festival was launched in 2014 on the initiative of composers Balázs Horváth and Samu Gryllus, with the collaboration of several well-known Budapest concert halls and organizations. In 2020, Marcell Dargay joined the team as the third artistic director. The curators consider it important to present not only the latest works, but also frequently referenced, influential pieces from the history of new music. The House of Music has been one of the festival's main venues for four years now.

Our planned new series is the sister of our regularly sold-out "Joy, Music, Club Life" session. However, as the name suggests, the focus is not on playing music together, but on listening to music and creating music-inspired art. 

The House of Music is celebrating its fourth anniversary by focusing on social responsibility, similar to last year's charity birthday evening, which was combined with an auction.

Babazuri is the little brother to our popular series Ramazuri, in which little ones are at the forefront of our minds! After all, "the musical education of children begins 9 months before they are born", as Zoltán Kodály famously said. Our aim is to ensure that the whole family has fun with the little ones included, so we are running parallel sessions, one for 0–3-year-olds and the other for 3–6-year-olds. Join us every month for new speakers at our Babazuri mornings! Move, play, create, and sing along with us!
