You will find different kinds of concert cycles on this page, ranging from chamber music events to full-size symphony concerts. We want to serve the Budapest community with a large variety of music activities. We hope you will find what you are looking for. To make your search easier please read these short descriptions.

Orchestral concerts:
Most of these concerts are performed three times, the venue is the new Béla Bartók National Concert Hall.

"Haydn-Mozart Plus" concerts:
In this series you can hear the BFO as a chamber orchestra. These concerts feature the orchestra members as soloists. The repertoire is not exclusively Haydn and Mozart: we perform works of other composers, as well. The concerts take place at the Italian Cultural Institute.

Cocoa concerts:
The cocoa concerts are visited by 5-12 year old children accompanied by adults. The works are short and specially designed for the concentration capacity of this age group. However, I always ask children to listen to the music in complete silence. Usually solo works are performed by the BFO's members. Children love to listen to individual instruments: it is the best way to awaken their interest to choose an instrument themselves. After the one-hour programme they all receive a cup of cocoa.

Sunday chamber music concerts:
These concerts are the best opportunity to hear the BFO's members as chamber musicians. It is our artistic policy to develop a pool of artists who are excellent both as orchestra and chamber musicians. The programmes are planned by the players; often they feature guests who join the BFO's members. The venue is our rehearsal building.

Chamber Orchestra Masterpieces:
These concerts are held at the Italian Cultural Institute and the BFO Rehearsal Hall.

Foreign tours:
