What you can expect
Join us at a Friday evening concert featuring the gems of centuries of organ music. Come to relax and experience the beauty, passion, and uplifting nature of perfectly written classical music performed by great musicians. Varied solo organ or chamber music concerts are offered in the series depending on the date of your visit. Old Hungarian organ music and pieces composed by Bach, Dubois, Franck, Handel, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Purcell or Vivaldi have all been selected to provide visitors with quality entertainment and lasting experience. In 2025 we have two Tuesday night concerts as well on 23 and 30 December.
The creative director and main organist of the Majestic Sounds series is Miklós Teleki, who is an excellent, award-winning Hungarian musician giving about 120 organ and piano recitals a year. He performs at almost all recitals except for 4 July when a great Estonian musician, Andres Uibo plays the organ and on 31 October you can listen to an excellent Hungarian organist, Tamás Lozsányi.
Here is a sample concert programme with pieces by J. S. Bach (e.g. on 4 April 2025):
1 Prelude and Fugue in B minor BWV 544
2 Trio Sonata in E flat major (Allegro moderato, Adagio, Allegro) BWV 525
3 Antonio Vivaldi – J. S. Bach: Concerto in A minor (Allegro, Adagio, Allegro) BWV 593
4 Pastorella (Preludium, Allemande, Air, Gigue) BWV 590
5 Prelude and Fugue in E flat major BWV 552
And also another programme with pieces by different composers (e.g. on 11 April 2025):
1 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Fantasy in f minor
2 Six old Hungarian organ compositions from Kilián Szigeti’s collection
3 Franz Liszt: Consolation in D flat major
4 Franz Liszt: Choral - Nun danket alle Gott
5 Théodore Dubois: In Paradisum
6 Th. Dubois: Toccata in G major
7 Johann Sebastian Bach: Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 659
8 J. S. Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565
At the chamber music concerts you can hear a wonderful young soprano, Nóra Ducza with Miklós Teleki and the dates are as follows: 30 May, 18 July, 29 August, 17 October, 23 December.
The concerts start with a short introduction of the musicians, you can follow the programme on a printed leaflet and the organist playing can be seen on a screen. The instrument is not a huge cathedral organ but a 25-pipe beauty installed in a church with the fusion of acoustics and aesthetics.
Offering live classical music is our passion and mission: take part in it with us. Visit our website: https://www.orgona-koncertek.hu/en/budapest-en/programmes, browse the different programmes and make your choice.
