Budapest Festival Orchestra, National Concert Hall Budapest, 25 March
- 25 Mar 2024 7:45 PM
- classical
One of two surviving Bach passions, the Saint Matthew Passion, which can be considered the zenith of Protestant church music, is often performed today as a purely musical piece, even though it really is an example of applied music at its best, or as Iván Fischer describes it, "a ritual with spiritual content.”
When it was first presented on Good Friday 1727, the work was paused between its ...
Budapest Klezmer Band, Dohány Street Synagogue Budapest, 3 September

'Little Night of Horrors', Palace of Arts Budapest, 10 October
- 31 Oct 2022 8:00 PM
- contemporary
This Halloween concert is the result of a new initiative of the Budafok Dohnanyi Orchestra that they believe will prove to be a creative and joyful one for many people. Instead of attempting to evoke the commercialized American folk festival, it harkens back to the ancient Celtic tradition, lining up music that ranges from terrifying to cathartic to playful.
