Bach24

2-3 May 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.

Those unable to play the organ can build one in Müpa’s Blue Hall. Once complete, the genuine pipe organ will even make a sound. During the process, the organ builders will also learn about the structure and workings of the instrument.
