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.
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.
Contemporary Hungarian film and (rock) music have been in contact practically since the late 1960s. Sometimes more intensively, sometimes more loosely, but they are essentially inseparable. Before the screenings, Béla Szilárd Jávorszky will talk briefly about the genesis and pop-historical significance of these works, followed by a discussion with a guest film aesthetics expert on the relevant domestic and international trends.

Once again, Budapest Ritmo invites you on a special musical journey. This year, the festival moves into the House of Music Hungary, so between 9 and 11 April, not only the conference but the entire concert programme will be hosted by this iconic Budapest venue. The Ritmo experience itself, however, remains unchanged: the world’s many musical languages, modern sounds blending with ancient traditions, and rarely heard instruments are just waiting to be discovered, so that we can ultimately find our new favourite performers.
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.
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.
