Over the past few years, the compelling multi-arts productions of the Pure Source series have looked at the music Béla Bartók collected in Turkey, the connections between folk and baroque music, and Bartók’s influence on jazz.
These were artistic demonstrations of how Bartók’s collection of folk music has been critical for the work that subsequent generations have carried out for the ...

- community
Invitation from the organisers: "On March 4, the authorities shut down the Turbina Cultural Center for a month based on a simple claim: someone somewhere alleged that they had purchased an illegal substance here - even though the police have never identified any unlawful activity on their premises, and they have always organized culture for a wide audience in full compliance with the ...
OZMA, Opus Jazz Club Budapest, 21 February
- 21 Feb 2026 8:00 PM
- contemporary
After five years of discographic silence, OZMA returns with The Day We Decided to Live at Night, an intimate album by drummer and leader Stéphane Scharlé, marking a major turning point in the band's history.

“This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise…” These are the words of Shakespeare in praise of England in Richard II. Among the trappings that enrich “this earth of majesty” is the musical culture of the island nation, as evidenced by traditions that continue to be painstakingly maintained today.

PR-Evolution Dance Company: Secret, National Dance Theatre Budapest, 10 February
- 10 Feb 2026 7:30 PM
- contemporary
We build a shining world for ourselves, where everything is nice and beautiful. The online culture we live in also demands this. How can we show our best face to both others and ourselves? We align our self-image to the false images of an online world.
We are forced to hide away the unacceptable, embarrassing details and the less glamorous content.
A secret is an event, a feeling, an ...
Mupa Film Club: Emir Kusturica - Life Is a Miracle, Palace of Arts, 9 February
- 9 Feb 2026 6:30 PM
- contemporary
In 2024, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra returned to perform at Müpa Budapest. The night was one big party. Was it what we would call folk punk? Balkan rollicking?
Categories are meaningless. Kusturica is very consistent in his use of music in his films. (Sometimes the songs even become hits.) In this case, he wrote them himself.
The story takes place in the early ’90s, during ...

- contemporary
Babra
The band was formed in 2014 in Budapest, where the spirit of the West and East constantly meet, and where traditions and modern urban culture continuously influence each other.
Their main inspiration lies in the music of the South Slavs along the Danube, which connects them beyond an instinctive shared passion with personal ties. The harmony of tamburas defines Babra's sound world, ...
