Program series
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!

In addition to the popular Hangadó performances, Árpád Tóth, a singing and music teacher known for his accessible lectures, is launching a new series.
The series, entitled Under the Magnifying Glass, is aimed at those who like to delve deeper into the works: the usual 90-minute interactive lectures detail a lesser-known, great piece in many aspects, while the accessible analysis is complemented by the participation of a young, professional vocal ensemble, Capella Columbae.
I have deliberately left the words ‘music history’ out of the title. Although, of course, in my own case it is the basis of everything: my studies and more than 40 years of teaching. For me, however, music history is increasingly becoming a tool to see and, above all, to hear behind all great music and, inspired by the music, to imagine things that may or may not be true, but which enhance the experience of the encounter.
Subjective? Clearly it is: subjective fantasy in moments that only this deep and soaring art can create. I invoke words to accompany music, but the point lies in the gestures and in the experience of listening to music together. My aim is to draw the mysticism of music into an educational ritual. Those who want to learn from it are able to, of course, but the journey itself is more important, the thing that leads to the music and through it to its secrets. Let's slow down time together for a fleeting yet timeless hour.

Advent, the period of four Sundays preceding Christmas, is about anticipation. The days are already very short and getting shorter, while the increasingly longer nights invite us to quietness and contemplation. People prepare themselves spiritually for the turning point when darkness slowly gives way to more and more light. This is a good time to be together. That is why we invite everyone to join us on each Sunday of Advent, when we have invited a different choir from a different city to sing, so that we can prepare for Christmas together by listening to them and singing along with them.
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.
