Christmas Organ Concert in Budapest
About the Event
Rejoice sweetly at this concert of Christmas organ music at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall.
Each year before Christmas, Müpa Budapest presents an organ concert and choral performance where the exalted sound of the organ combine with seasonal choral pieces to help the audience capture the spirit of the holiday season. At this year's concert, three choirs will be joining the 'queen of instruments' in celebration.
