There is so much good music out there, but only one marathon a year. In the past 16 years, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák, Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart, Bartók, Bach, Stravinsky, Mendelssohn and Schumann, Brahms, Bernstein, Debussy and Ravel, Beethoven once again, Berlioz and Liszt online, Richard Strauss and Prokofiev have been the composer giants at the center of the joint Marathons of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Müpa Budapest. During the all-day event, the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall primarily will be the venue for the symphonic concerts, while the Festival Theatre will host the chamber music events. The other rooms and spaces will offer free concerts and screenings. Performers include outstanding Hungarian soloists, chamber ensembles, and orchestras. As usual, some young talents will also be invited. Spending an entire day engrossed in the music is an unforgettable and intense experience.

Through the performances and the screenings at the joint musical marathon of the BFO and Müpa Budapest, visitors may escape their daily routines and immerse themselves in the most divine of arts: music. But who will be the next name?

A joint event by the Müpa Budapest and the Budapest Festival Orchestra.
