The Night of Music – Manyi 6:30 p.m.

The musicians of the Budapest Festival Orchestra are once again stepping out of the concert halls and diving into the Budapest night, The Night of Music! On November 20, some of the coolest pubs, cafés, bistros, and cultural spaces on both the Pest and Buda sides will welcome those who are curious, open-minded, and eager to brighten their evening with classical music.

The Night of Music’s free mini-concerts will await music lovers at Dugattyús, Manyi Kulturális Műhely, Margeaux, DANTE Közösségi Alkotótér, Béla Bár, TACET Brewery, Három Holló, ISON, and Buda Collection Antikvitás és Kulturális Tér, the most relaxed, easygoing classical-music event of the fall. Joining the Festival Orchestra’s artists will be students of the European Orchestral Academy, some of Europe’s most talented young musicians.

The mini-concerts begin in the early evening, typically at 6:00 p.m., and at some locations may even run until midnight. Admission is free everywhere; where possible, it’s worth reserving a table in advance, as venues fill up in no time.

In 2025, for the ninth time, classical music will take over Budapest’s hottest spots. The event is made possible this year as well with the support of the City of Budapest.
