Free Events at House of Music in Budapest to Celebrate World Music Day
The House of Music Hungary celebrates World Music Day on October 1 with free concerts and a film screening, reports Turizmus.com.

From 1 p.m., visitors are invited to a classical music concert, in the afternoon a pop-up jazz concert and a concert film screening.

In addition, the family program organized on October 5 will also be dedicated to the celebration of music,
the institution said.


The “Lunchtime” series will feature performances by the Era Nova String Quartet, a group of Liszt Academy students. They will perform Edvard Grieg’s String Quartet in G minor and Béla Bartók’s “Romanian Folk Dances.”

The Zádor Trio, which will perform in the lobby from 2:30 p.m., will play a repertoire of original compositions and jazz standards, including everything from Charlie Parker’s bebop classics to swing hits and Oscar Peterson’s rarely played, serious compositions.

Recorded in the House of Music Hungary in 2023, the concert, titled “There Is War,” features music by János Másik and words by Géza Bereményi, recalling their collaborations with Hungarian musician Tamás Cseh. The concert film can be seen in the auditorium from 3:30 p.m.

Hungary Today

Launched online long after XpatLoop.com, this 'government-related' source states its aim is "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. However the site also says that this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions,” which is useful for our readers to keep in mind. Another stated aim expressed is to become “the leading English-language news portal of Hungary”, which is a role that XpatLoop has successfully fulfilled independently for well over two decades. That noted, our team is open to occasionally sharing a useful Hungary Today article - with their permission of course - for the benefit of our readers.
