One of our favourite music tour destinations
Budapest is a vastly diverse city with so many places of interest that it makes for a very exciting music tour. Famed for its folk music and composers such as Bartok, Kodaly and Liszt, it is unsurprising that the city boasts such a rich cultural heritage, and musical ensembles are warmly received. Its fascinating and varied history is visible through the grand buildings of the Golden Age such as the Royal Palace and Parliament building, whilst the Fisherman’s Bastion offers an impressive view over the city. With fantastic venues and good value accommodation, Budapest is one of our favourite music tour destinations.

Concerts
Our music tour groups are able to perform in a variety of performance spaces in central Budapest, from cathedrals to jazz clubs, concert halls to community centres. Along the Danube bend there are also numerous towns and villages with pretty churches and town squares, providing real hospitality and the chance to explore beyond the capital city. We have also arranged for some of our groups to perform in local festivals.

FAQs

A: We work hard to generate excellent attendance at each concert, as we understand that an appreciative audience makes all the difference. We produce eye-catching posters and handbills, which are displayed and distributed in the environs of your concerts. We also advertise your concerts in online and hard copy local What’s On Guides as well as newspapers, by way of press releases. In addition, we invite local dignitaries, music societies and music students to your concerts. Last but not least, we provide you with posters for your concerts, which will be displayed in your coach and placed on your Club Europe poster board at your venue by your tour manager before each concert.
We understand that when you go on a music tour where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms generally en-suite.
