Calendar highlights


	Tesco Disco It's a great luck for all of us that New Year's Eve doesn't fall on Friday the 13th this year, so I can easily have the last party of the year on the 15th at the Akvárium. 15 December - Akvárium Klub Budapest
	Colour Concerts A broad spectrum of musical genres can be heard in and around the Foyer in the afternoons: visitors stopping by and wishing to hear music may listen to the young representatives of popular music, jazz and folk. 16 December - Palace of Arts Budapest
	Jazz with Modern Art Orchestra & Veronika Harcsa The 20th century Hungarian poet Sándor Weöres wrote in such a musical way, that you just have to put his poems down onto music sheets, says the artistic director of the Modern Art Orchestra Kornél Fekete-Kovács. 17 December - Opus Jazz Club Budapest
	Händel – Mozart: Messiah Oratorio in Hungarian, with English surtitles. Proclaiming (notably with the popular “Hallelujah” chorus) the coming and resurrection of the Saviour, Messiah remains to this day one of the most popular of Handel’s works. 18 December - Opera House Budapest
	Carmen Evening Ravel’s music glows red and erupts like a pulsating volcano. Bolero is a musical ‘orgasm’ with a spectacular arc that reaches its climax pulsating with ever-increasing tempo and dynamics. 19 December - National Dance Theatre Budapest
	Vienna Boys' Choir Concert: 'Good Shepherds' Vienna Boys' Choir performed in Hungary on a number of occasions and given their audiences a memorable experience. This time, the legendary choir will be accompanied by another choir performing with them. 20 December - National Concert Hall Budapest
