Hangvető is a common platform for independent artists and labels. It gained recognition as a distributor and an organizer of special events. From the outset we have been involved in festival and concert organization. We are proud to have been organizing world and folk music concerts at the Valley of Arts Festival between 2004-2010. In 2015 Hangvető brought the largest international fair and festival in the world music scene, WOMEX to Budapest. Next year Budapest Ritmo was launched, today Hangvető offers PontFestival, Budapest A Cappella Festival and brand new Csocsek to all who enjoy quality music. Hangvető firmly supports continuous networking within the region, and provides a local reference point in world and folk music.
Organized now for the 27th time, this year’s CAFe Budapest Contemporary Arts Festival will be held between 5 and 21 October, 2018. From contemporary classical music to theatre premieres, from popular music and jazz to dance and visual art, the art of our times will again be highlighted in the Hungarian capital during the seventeen days of the event series, which is realized in cooperation between Müpa Budapest, the Budapest Festival and Tourism Centre and the Hungarian Tourism Agency. Besides the work of Béla Bartók, the other focus of this year’s festival will be art and artists of the Baltic States. The affiliated events of CAFe Budapest will again include the Budapest Ritmo world music festival, the Art Market Budapest and the Margin Literary Festival and Book Fair. Asbefore, the events will be hosted, among others, by Müpa Budapest, Liszt Academy, BMC, Akvárium Klub, A38 Ship, the Várkert Bazár (Castle Garden Bazaar), Vigadó, and Uránia National Film Theatre.
