Budapest's House of Music to Host Festival for Upgraded Sound Dome Reopening

• 17 Jan 2025 9:52 AM

The House of Music is hosting a festival this week on the occasion of the reopening of its completely upgraded "immersive" cinematic room, the Sound Dome, the organisers have said.

The festival dubbed DOME_RELOAD offers an audovisual progamme series between January 14-19, they told a press conference.

"Since the opening of the House of Music three years ago, the 30-minute immersive films have attracted more than 170,000 viewers. The repertoire included 27 such titles," director Marton Horn said.

Among the films shown again are Hungarian composer Tibor Szemzo’s Csoma Kaleidoscope evoking the journey of explorer Sandor Korosi-Csoma to the Himalayas, Poeme Symphonique For 100 Metronomes paying tribute to world-renowned composer Gyorgy Ligeti and several art films on Renoir, Bosch and Tivadar Csontvary.

Following tradition, the Dome will screen a new production every month, exhibition department head Endre Vazul Mandi said. He said the programme schedule will be formulated in cooperation with students of Budapest's Liszt Academy of Music and MOME University of Art and Design and several foreign partner institutions of the Dome.

The Dome’s upgraded audio technology allows "moving the sounds in three dimensions and a 360-degree projection of images with five high-tech projectors," Mandi said, adding that in February, a new "immersive title" created by using material from Mauritius, Indonesia, the US, Spain, France and Hungary will be shown.

The House of Music attracted 700,000 visitors last year, said Horn.
