Hungarian Themed Symphony Concert at the Danube Palace Budapest

Hungarian Themed Symphony Concert at the Danube Palace Budapest

The beautiful 19th century building of the Danube Palace in Budapest is the regular host of the Hungarian themed symphony concerts, which centre around world famous pieces of classical music strongly related to the Hungarians or Hungarian culture, like the Chardash of Monti or Long live the Hungarians! by Strauss.

The symphony concert is not only Hungarian themed with its programme, but the concert is also a Cimbalom Show, as a truly Hungarian specialty, one of the oldest Hungarian musical instruments, the Tsimbalom (hammered dulcimer played by striking 2 beaters against the strings).

The Danube Palace (Duna Palota in Hungarian) has a very central location and a beautiful romantic interior, which is worth a short walk from Vorosmarty Square in Zrinyi Street.

They have given performances in GermanyFranceSwitzerland, the Netherlands and Italy.

Their repertoire covers almost every musical style from the Baroque music to music of the 20th century. Their permanent concert hall is the theatre of the Danube Palace, Budapest (Duna Palota; Zrínyi utca 5.) Apart from the concerts for adults and children, they regularly play at various musical events held in Budapest.
