The soul and story of Hungarian gypsy music
Few experiences capture Hungary’s essence like the sound of Gypsy music. Born from the journeys of the Romani people, who arrived here centuries ago, it blends deep emotion with dazzling virtuosity. A marriage of ancient melodies and Hungarian folk traditions.

Stories without words
The music is carried by the passionate cry of the violin, the shimmering notes of the cimbalom and the steady heartbeat of the double bass. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it filled both village squares and aristocratic salons, inspiring composers like Franz Liszt. Today, it still lives on: in candlelit restaurants, at lively festivals and wherever musicians gather to tell stories without words.





Live at Corinthia Budapest
At Corinthia Budapest, this tradition comes alive three nights a week in our restaurant, Brasserie & Atrium, where the acclaimed ensemble led by violin virtuoso József “Csicsó” Németh performs. Founded over two decades ago and performing at Corinthia Budapest since the hotel first opened its doors, the band has built a reputation for extraordinary talent, a rich and diverse repertoire, and an innate ability to captivate audiences without ever glancing at a sheet of music.


Experience the magic
Their main programme often features Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, beloved Walt Disney film scores such as Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, works by Ennio Morricone, hits by Michael Jackson, and some of the most celebrated world music ever composed.
Having performed around the globe, they now bring their artistry to our hotel. Experiencing their music over dinner is more than entertainment, it is a rare glimpse into the living heart of Hungarian culture.
