Müpa Budapest’s 20th anniversary season, which we are celebrating with world-famous performers, a full weekend of jubilee events and a 24-hour organ marathon, has surprises in store even in the days running up to the summer holidays.

It has been 340 years since the birth of Johann Sebastian Bach. To mark the occasion, Müpa is embarking on a 24-hour Bach ‘shift’, now for the second time. From 9 pm on 2 May to 9 pm on 3 May, name Hungarian and international organists will perform all of Bach’s organ works following a carefully structured thematic timeline.

So what is Jazz? Something that is difficult to define? Of course, because of its amazing ability to change styles! If you want it to be, it can be romantic-psychedelic magic, and at other times it’s an ambient jazz-pop journey, or perhaps a touch of hip-hop-afrobeat levitation. At the 17th, Jazz Showcase, every note points to the future.
