If you are a classical music enthusiast, this event needs to be on your bucket list. Bridging Europe, a tradition by now, is a joint festival of Müpa Budapest and the Budapest Festival Orchestra. It is lending an exciting flavour to the start of the new season, featuring classical concerts, jazz, popular music and film screenings. Every year, a country with a rich and diverse culture and significant musical traditions is in the focus, which will be Italy this year.
