A stellar performance last Thursday night was witnessed by hundreds of Xpats (expats and internationally minded Hungarians).

Grand Chinese New Year Concert In Budapest, 26 January
- 26 Jan 2015 8:02 AM
- community & culture
After last year's Chinese New Year Concert, the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall is once again sprinkled with the exciting, scintillating musical spices of Asia. What we should not expect, however, is a musically alien Chinese production that is hard for Western ears to grasp: instead, the audience will be transported on a Far Eastern adventure full of grace and melody that is far more redolent ...

Bridges Of Souls, Festival Theatre Budapest, 28 October
- 27 Oct 2014 8:06 AM
- entertainment
If we scan the names of the four soulmates collaborating on the album Bridges of Souls, then the name of the Yellowjackets - one of the outstanding groups in jazz fusion, active for more than three decades - immediately springs to mind. This is because both American musical stars on this record spent the greater part of their careers with the band.

- entertainment
"I've come to know DánielSzabó as an exceptional and compelling talent - both as a pianist and a composer", says Peter Erskine, one of the most outstanding and enthralling drummers and composers on the jazz scene today.

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.
