Ticket sales for Bach24 organ marathon now open
27 February 2025
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.
The cornerstone will of course be the organ of the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall, while the atmosphere will be more informal than is usual for classical music concerts: At night, the audience will be able to lie around the stage on beanbags and are free to move around in search of the best sound. The night-time concerts will be accompanied by special light painting. On Saturday, those wishing to try out this wonderful instrument can receive lessons from young teachers on the organ simulator.
