Dear Music Fans,
Five concert series, two festivals and plenty of outstanding soloists are awaiting you in the Concerto Budapest 2020/21 Season!

We are looking forward to a special season. All of a sudden, we found ourselves in a completely new and unexpected situation, which turned our lives upside down, changed our well-established habits and transformed our daily routine. In Season 2020/2021, we want to ensure that our loyal audience can enjoy the high quality events they are used to, so we will do the most in our power to make these events happen while also adhering to the pandemic-related rules. Most of the concert that had to be cancelled in the spring of 2020 have been rescheduled for the autumn, so we need to undertake some modifications regarding our usual concert subscriptions. For this reason, in addition to our traditional season ticket series with fix programmes (Geniuses, Volumes, Favourites, Hungarian Gems and Manó), we’ll launch a new one, whose subscribers can select concerts à la carte from all concerts of the season.
You can download our Season Ticket Brochure 2020/21 (in a pdf format) HERE!
For all concerts of the season, please visit the CONCERT CALENDAR.
Season tickets can be purchased from 10 am, 17 June, 2020 including our á la carte subscription. Season tickets offer a 30% discount compared to individually purchased concert tickets.
Individual and season tickets can be purchased online on the website of Concerto Budapest without having to pay an administration fee. While our fix subscription can be found under option SEASON TICKETS, our Á la carte season ticket series can be acquired under TICKETS.
For further information regarding individual and season tickets, please do not hesitate to contact us either by phone (on weekdays) at + 36 1 215 5770 or via email at jegy@concertobudapest.hu.
We look forward to seeing you at our concerts next season as well!
This season ticket series promises impressive quantity and tangible greatness; the programme serves up global star appearances, world premieres and debuts in Hungary, new performers and returning guests for loyalists of Concerto Budapest. Thus we find Keller Quartet and Purcell Choir featuring at concerts of this season ticket together with Boris Berezovsky and Isabelle Faust. Péter Eötvös, Gábor Takács-Nagy and György Vashegyi all pick up the conductor’s baton, while in the row of instrumental soloists we discover two members of the Menuhin family as well as one of the greatest violinist prospects for the future, the barely 20-year-old Daniel Lozakovich. Volumes includes 19th and 20th century classics of symphonic and chamber music, two major church music pieces, as well as enticing contemporary compositions, but naturally this season ticket series is, as usual, enhanced with the now traditional Christmas Tchaikovsky concert (not to mention a surprise ‘bonus’ performance).
Concerts
Six-plus-one recitals glorying in the music of giants of the art: this is the hard-to-overestimate experience awaiting those purchasing this season ticket. Works by Brahms, Liszt, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Wagner, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, and Debussy, what is more in the most exquisite performances since these Liszt Academy concerts veritably sparkle with the brilliance of Boris Berezovsky and Miklós Perényi, Keller Quartet, Dezső Ránki and Isabelle Faust. And since it is obvious that it is not solely from past centuries that genius creators have enriched the music canon with their compositions, thus contemporary greats are also listed among the artists featured here. Péter Eötvös is present to receive applause both as conductor and composer, and pianist-composer Jeremy Menuhin has chosen the season ticket concert in February to debut his brand-new Double Concerto.
Concerts
For this season, the programme of the traditional Hungarian Gems series is if anything even more varied and special than before. Popular operetta hits, 19th, 20th and 21st century compositions, wafting waltzes and serious, indeed sombre historical portraits, long-exalted core works and compositions still awaiting discovery: these are all there for us to enjoy in the four-concert series. And in this spirit of diversity, the participating artists also arrive from different fields for the Vigadó concerts conducted by András Keller, Róbert Farkas, Domonkos Héja and Gábor Takács-Nagy; performers include the Venezuelan violinist Giovanni Guzzo, Erika Miklósa introducing herself as prima donna, and Barnabás Kelemen.

Concerts
What is music about? Can musical notes have meaning? Can we depict animals, people, enchanted beings with our instruments when the work has no lyrics? What can we express through music that we cannot with words? Artists of the orchestra in partnership with the kids have a go at finding answers to these and other questions; the young audience gets a playful overview of the world and history of classical and folk music as well as instruments. Star players in this season’s concerts include, for example, a bumblebee, a dragon, Mazsola the little green piglet, but children also get to glimpse the world of olden-day balls, the kingdom of dwarves, the village of giants and the courtyard of famous folk tale characters. Gábor Iván, percussion player with Concerto Budapest, is the children’s guide on these musical outings and pantomime artist Csaba Méhes is responsible for the great vibe and improved understanding.
