Kecskemét: The Capital of Hungarian Music

At least during the Kodály Festival, Kecskemét truly becomes the capital of Hungarian music. While the city is best known as the birthplace of Zoltán Kodály—one of the most influential Hungarian composers of the twentieth century—it has also been home to a rich and vibrant musical culture for centuries.

Join music historian Ádám Bősze on a fascinating two-hour walking tour through the city’s musical past. Discover the stories and legacies of remarkable figures such as Pongrác Kacsoh, Pál M. Bodon, Zoltán Vásárhelyi, and, of course, Zoltán Kodály, while exploring the places that shaped Kecskemét’s unique musical heritage.
