Concert, music

After the February concert, in May the BFO will perform two more of Brahms' Hungarian Dances, a challenging concerto, and a symphony that traverses the depths of the musical landscape.

The Budapest Festival Orchestra's Brahms series continues with a juxtaposition of grueling pursuit and easy success, as Hungarian dances precede weighty compositions.

It has become something of a tradition to kick off the new Budapest Festival Orchestra season with an opera. Iván Fischer selects the most diverse array of pieces, ranging from Mozart to Monteverdi to Britten, and never fails to put his signature twist on them.

The Bridging Europe will connect the entire continent this year: a Hungarian rhapsody follows a Spanish dance; an homage to Bach precedes Czech melodies.

The next instalment in Gábor Takács-Nagy’s Haydn–Mozart series is here! Fortunately for us, the symphonic oeuvre of the two great Viennese classical composers is abundant enough to keep the conductor inspired.

A rarely performed suite, a classical concerto, a tribute to Bach, and the cornerstone of a symphonic oeuvre: evoking a Nordic air while occasionally stirring flames of passion, is what the concerto offers. The orchestra performs under the baton of BFO’s regular guest conductor, music director of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and the Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Robin Ticciati.

The Concertino series, featuring works for chamber orchestra, this time launches a musical expedition to the north.

Jordi Savall is at the helm of the Budapest Festival Orchestra again! This time, the living legend of early music will be conducting a production centered around the themes of natural elements and the furies, performed on historic instruments by the Baroque Ensemble of the BFO founded in 2011.

Erre a koncertre nem kell kiöltözni, nem tart órákig, cserébe barátságos és közvetlen a hangulat, amit még oldottabbá tesznek Fischer Iván szellemes kommentárjai az elhangzó művekről.

Will you come at midnight and listen to some classical music while lounging on a beanbag, just an arm’s length from the musicians? This question might have sounded weird ten years ago but, thanks to the Festival Orchestra, Midnight Music has since become one of the best and most popular programs for those who have a keen interest in culture but don’t like the constraints at traditional concerts.

For almost a quarter of a century, the Festival Orchestra’s program series for children has brought a high-quality classical musical experience to the youngest.

Időpontváltozás!

Felhívjuk kedves közönségünk figyelmét, hogy az eredetileg június 2-re meghirdetett koncertünk időpontja május 30-ra módosult. A korábban megváltott jegyek erre az időpontra érvényesek. Megértésüket köszönjük!

Six composers, six pieces, sixty-six years, but nothing diabolical. In fact, several aspects of the season’s only performance to be hosted at the BMC will direct the audience’s gaze skywards towards the heavens. We may rightfully label the evening a contemporary concert, although only one of the pieces on the program, featuring works composed between 1940 and 2006, was written after the turn of the millennium.
