Keep Floyding, National Concert Hall Budapest, 23 June
- 23 Jun 2014 9:00 AM
- entertainment
Keep Floyding - because Pink Floyd's music is unforgettable, has to be heard again and again, and permitted to pass through our souls and take us to a higher level of consciousness. A musical world of this calibre cannot be brought back to life just anyhow, but needs a group whose members are both talented musicians and mature enough to understand this musical world.
Roma Ethno-Ballad In Two Acts: Somnakaj, Festival Theatre Budapest, 4 May
- 3 May 2014 9:00 AM
- entertainment
A night such as those sung of in ballads. The embers of a slowly dying fire glimmer softly. Somewhere in the distance, a violinist plays an ancient Roma song. Tremulous silhouettes emerge, and as they come closer the stomping of the dancers becomes distinct.

- 2 May 2014 9:00 AM
- entertainment
The young French string quartet Quatuor Voce has been selected for the Rising Stars programme on the recommendation of the Cité de la Musique cultural centre in Paris.

Event For Kids: World of Percussion, Palace Of Arts, 3 May
- 2 May 2014 9:00 AM
- entertainment
Music runs parallel to the history of mankind. The first instrument was little more than two stones picked up from the ground and struck together, sharing as they did their other uses as tools, weapons and firelighters. Wherever he has looked since, man has found objects suitable for drumming up rhythms.
Makám: 30, National Concert Hall Budapest, 2 May
- 1 May 2014 9:00 AM
- entertainment
Makám is a band whose history is as branded by continuity as it by constant renewal. As this history began 30 years ago, we can add without a moment's reflection that this is an institution, perhaps even a "godfather", of Hungarian music.
Kurt Rosenwinkel New Quartet (USA), Festival Theatre Budapest, 29 May
- 29 Apr 2014 9:00 AM
- entertainment
Perhaps the most significant and ground-breaking guitarist of the new millennium, Kurt Rosenwinkel is now bringing his Star of Jupiter to Hungary. This is the title of the double album of entirely original music released by his newly formed quartet in late 2012. It was greeted only with superlatives from every significant jazz publication, some of which even went as far as to dub it an instant ...

See What Happened @ 'Gift Of The Gab' Final
- 13 Mar 2014 2:00 AM
- entertainment
Over the years I have enjoyed many stand-up/cabaret nights by people who have gone on to bigger and greater things. What’s fab about Budapest's 'Gift Of The Gab' is that these are everyday people performing on stage. One in particular I met at a previous Irish Hungarian Business Circle trip to Göd orphanage. Quite frankly, I had no idea that this shy person was so expressive and outlandish in ...
Invitation: Enjoy Expats Entertaining For Charity
- 6 Mar 2014 10:00 AM
- entertainment
"You either have it or you don’t", says local expat Mary Murphy, a woman who definitely has it, perhaps by virtue of her Irish roots. She presides over Budapest’s only English-language 'Speech Slam', which is going from strength to strength. ‘It’, of course, is that (quintessentially Irish) ability to talk to anyone, anywhere, about anything, aka the 'Gift Of The Gab'.
