Modern Art Orchestra: Miles Davis 100, Opus Jazz Club Budapest, 1 April
- 1 Apr 2026 6:30 PM
- contemporary
The Modern Art Orchestra’s three-part concert series pays tribute to this year’s centenary of a jazz icon through the legendary collaboration of Miles Davis and Gil Evans.
The evenings built around three inescapable milestones of jazz history – Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, and Sketches of Spain – are not straightforward reinterpretations of the iconic albums, but rather trace the arc of a ...
Beyond Fukuyama, Trafó Budapest, 31 March
- 31 Mar 2026 8:00 PM
- contemporary
In his 1989 essay The End of History, Francis Fukuyama argues that liberal democracy represents the final destination of political and social evolution. Have we truly arrived at the best of all possible worlds, or have power structures simply been rearranged around us?
“Beyond Fukuyama is a theatrical oratorio created using live film techniques, blending provocative visuals, montages, unique ...
St Matthew Passion, Opera House Budapest, 29 March
- 29 Mar 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
Saint Matthew Passion is Bach's greatest work, one which constitutes an unsurpassable pinnacle not only of Protestant church music, but in the universal history of music.
Forgotten after Bach's death, the work was played in Berlin on 11 March 1829, a century after its original performance, with Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy conducting.
The composer and conductor adapted the work to Romantic ...
State Folk Ensemble: Hungarian Rhapsody, Hungarian Heritage House, 15 March
- 15 Mar 2026 7:00 PM
- contemporary
Rhapsody as a genre is characterized by caprice and the passionate undulation of emotion, thoughts, and the freedom of expression. Hungarian Rhapsody incorporates all of the peculiarities of the genre, relying on tradition, and drawing inspiration from it, to create a special and unique dance rhapsody.
The colourful diversity of the Hungarian peasant traditions appear in dynamically ...
French Evening, National Concert Hall Budapest, 25 February

- classical
Experience an enchanting French soirée blending refinement, vibrant colours, moods, and pathos at the third concert of the Kocsis season ticket series.
Claude Debussy's ground-breaking L’Après-midi d’un Faune ushers in Impressionism, while Camille Saint-Saëns' Cello Concerto in A minor and the ever-popular Organ Symphony evoke Romanticism—with the symphony drawing heavy inspiration from ...
English Marathon: Purcell – Elgar - Britten, Mupa Budapest, 15 February
- 15 Feb 2026 10:00 AM
- classical
“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.

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 ...
Budapest Festival Orchestra: Mahler, National Concert Hall, 2 February
- 2 Feb 2026 7:45 PM
- classical
Mahler once said a symphony should embrace the whole world, and that vision is powerfully realised in his Third Symphony, a work deeply connected to nature and among the longest in the repertoire.
Ten years after their last performance, Mahler specialist Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra return to this monumental six-movement piece.
The soloist is Gerhild Romberger, ...
