The brand new Hungarian House of Music – Interview with operational director Horn Márton. This newly built facility designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto opened in the end of January of 2022. It is located in Budapest’s city park and shall function as a concert venue, exhibition space and music library. There is already „…an exhibition on Hungarian connections to European music history – a concept that will be followed for concerts as well…It is important to present all aspects of Hungarian music culture…[we intend to] bring Hungarian and international musicians together giving proper attention also to both traditional and ‘global music’ (as separate from ‘world music’ that often involves fusions of music from different cultures)…” The institution will house Hungary’s first library of popular music. A staff of 70 run the new institution with Salamon Soma in charge of Hungarian folk music programing. For the first few months they will be functioning in „trial mode”. By Grozdits Károly.
