Dear viewers, We would like, even during this extraordinary situation, for our fantastic audience to still be able to encounter the world's most outstanding and thrilling artists each evening – in the safety of their own homes. We believe that there are no limits to the "Müpa Budapest experience", which is why we decided to unlock our media library for everyone over the weeks to come and – each night at the familiar times: 7 pm, 7.30 pm or 8 pm, depending on genre – open Müpa Budapest's virtual concert hall by providing access to an unforgettable performance from past years, which we'll transmit on our website, our Facebook page and our YouTube channel. What is more, as a member of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) and in the spirit of international solidarity, we will also be streaming concerts on our Facebook page from different prestigious concert halls around Europe, from Lisbon and Hamburg to London – trusting that this will make evenings at home more pleasant. Take good care, and let's continue to stick together!

Organ Duel – New Generation Ronny Krippner (GB) and Dirk Elsemann (D) 8 May 2020, Friday, 7.30 pm
Presenters: Kátya Tompos and László Fassang For years, the popular organ duels at Müpa Budapest have revived the tradition of noble rivalry between artists. Ronny Krippner is currently organist at a church in one of London’s suburbs, and also teaches at the Birmingham Conservatoire and the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London. Dirk Elsemann is cantor of a Catholic church in Berlin and, besides an extensive career as a performer, is associate professor of liturgical organ and improvisation at the Berlin University of the Arts. Both are masters of their instrument with outstanding capacities for improvisation. This recording was made at a concert held at Müpa Budapest on 27 January 2015.
