The Flavours of Europe – Music and Gastronomy
20 October 2025, 11:00 am
Müpa Budapest - Festival Theatre
1095 Budapest, Komor Marcell u. 1.
As teenagers, we are all starved for novelty, exciting experiences and fresh impulses that open up the world – and, even we don't necessarily realise it, for culture too. Especially at snacktime! In this concert, we will be serving up some true musical delicacies, and not only in the metaphorical sense. Balázs Fülei, Ildikó Gaál-Wéber and Szilveszter Szélpál's programme compiled for schoolchildren will only feature compositions that have a connection with food – from bread and butter to the refined art of the hors d'oeuvre – and are guaranteed to give you a true appetite for classical music.
