Fonó Music Hall opened its gates 18 years ago, in October 1995. This year, we celebrate our coming of age. Our jubilee series features bands that are not mere guest musicians: in fact, they are at home here as several of them were actually formed at Fonó or spent a significant period of their career here. Many of them have acquired nationwide or international fame, received Prima and Prima Primissima Awards or the prestigious Kossuth Prize.
Coming of age brings about responsibility. Our jubilee series reflects our philosophy of maintaining high cultural standards and offers various forms of musical entertainment.
Enjoy!
