Now On: 'Budapest City Of Music' At 13 Special Locations
“Budapest: The City of Music” is an annual concert series that will be held for the third time this year in Budapest’s most beautiful locations. Now on until 18 August, read on for details of the performances and special locations.

People will now have the chance to discover how exciting the balcony on the House of the Hungarians is, where each Sunday, Monday and Tuesday opera arias will be sung. On weekends in the City Park before the Műcsarnok Hall a jazz formation will entertain audiences with classic songs.

In the Great Market Hall Gypsy music will accompany visitors on Tuesdays and Fridays as they take in all the wonderful products and culinary delights. On Mondays and Fridays in Downtown Pest at Deák, Vörösmarty and Kristóf Squares French horns will duel with flutes.

Those relaxing on the terrace of the famous Gerbeaud confectionary can enjoy a harp and violin chamber music duet on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Special programmes will feature in the courtyard of the Castle Garden Bazaar, one of Buda’s cultural centres during the summer.

On ten Sundays and two Saturdays from 4 June mini concerts of various genres with star performers will be held, featuring big names such as the harmonica player Zoltán Orosz, the saxophonist Mihály Borbély, the pianist Béla Szakcsi Lakatos and the guitarist Ferenc Snétberger.
