Artistic director: Iván Fischer

A joint event of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and the Palace of Arts.

Thanks to a type of concert previously unknown in Hungary, the BFO and the Palace of Arts established a new tradition in 2008. Friends, enthusiasts, lovers, slaves, fanatics, buffs, and maniacs of music regard it a red-letter day, when they can cherish the popular pieces of the composer they adore – this is the occasion when everyone can find something on the programme to their liking. The Marathons traditionally attract large crowds and a considerable part of the audience consists of the voracious, who sit through every concert in the series. The “hero” of the 2015 Marathon is Igor Stravinsky.

Tickets available from November 18.
