The National Philharmonic’s Open Air Beethoven-Evenings In Martonvásár, Hungary
The nationally acclaimed open air concerts which have been organised since 1958 in the small rural town, Martonvasar, only 32 km from Budapest have a unique atmosphere. Besides the National Philharmonic these concerts feature excellent artists from Hungary and abroad.

The venue of the concerts, the island surrounded by the pond in the magnificent garden of Count Brunszvik’s manor house, was picked because –according to the records of that period- Beethoven, who were quite a close friend of the Brunszvik family spent a lot of time here. (Today the manor house contains the Beethoven museum, open Tuesday- Friday: 10am-12am and 2 pm-4 pm, Saturday-Sunday: 10 am-6 pm. )

The Romantic flavour of the manor house and the park provide a brilliant milieu for performing Beethoven’s works.

It’s worth coming well before the concert to visit the park and the museum as well as to listen to the free chamber concerts from 5 pm.
