Experience the Danube Symphony Orchestra which was founded 1961 in Budapest. Since then, the orchestra has given many performances both in Hungary and abroad.

Their repertoire covers musical styles from the Baroque music to music of the 20th century. Their permanent concert hall is the theatre of the Danube Palace (sitting map of the Danube Palace)(BM Duna Palota; Zrínyi utca 5). Furthermore, the orchestra is a regular guest at the Music Academy, at the Vigadó, at the Stephanie Palace and at the Convention Centre.

Since 1983, they have been invited to perform in many countries. They have often accompanied solo artists at music competitions and participated in colourful operettas, ballets and oratorio performances as well. Many Hungarian and foreign guest artists have performed with the orchestra, including Giuseppe di Stefano from Italy, James Galway, a flautist from Ireland and Ray Charles, the jazz star from the USA. They have given performances in Germany, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Italy.
