What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than confining itself to performances of Bartok's own compositions, the festival is deliberately structured around his creative spirit and cross-genre curiosity, resulting in programming that has ranged from Bach on period instruments and Sara Baras's flamenco to a Peter Eotvos-conducted tribute marking Gyorgy Ligeti's centenary

02

The mystery stays covered

Backed explicitly by Hungary's Ministry of Culture and Innovation and Ministry of Human Resources alongside Mupa Budapest, the festival has grown within a few years to span a dozen venues, including the House of Hungarian Music and the Liszt Academy in Budapest and the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter in Pecs, reaching well over a hundred programs in a single edition
