Andrea Szulák's name is well-known to theatre and music fans in Hungary. Her performance promises to delight her audience with iconic Hungarian and foreign hits created for a 60-piece orchestra. The Orchestra of the Budapest Philharmonic Society is renowned among music-loving audiences, being ranked among the most significant orchestras in Europe. Dating back to 1853, it was the first symphony orchestra in the country to put on regular concerts. Since its foundation, one of its fundamental objectives has always been to perform the great music of both past and present.

Those who have been to a crossover concert – a concert that combines several musical genres – will know very well how moving it can be to witness numerous outstanding musicians reinterpreting a hit song. Get the summer off to a flying start with this unique musical experience.

Join us in celebrating the 10th anniversary of the reopening of the Castle Garden Bazaar, the 30th anniversary of Andrea Szulák’s career, and the 170th season of the Budapest Philharmonic Society.
