The programs of Bridging Europe focus on Spain this year. The event series, hosted jointly by the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Müpa Budapest, is presenting the art and culture of a selected, culturally diverse country for the fifth year in 2017.

Last year saw France take center stage, while this year, incidentally marking the 40th anniversary of the re-establishment of Spanish-Hungarian diplomatic relations, audiences are given an overview of Spanish culture. In line with the traditions of previous years, programs include classical music, jazz, dance theatre productions, exhibitions, film screenings and literary evenings, as well. There will be as much flamenco as people can handle and they won't be left without Spanish classical composers, either.
