]]> The Good Musician travelog talked about Hungarian and Czech composers. Here are some of the astounding churches and cathedrals where those composers wrote and made music, and where Chorus Austin will perform this summer. I’ve been browsing the concert schedules, and it looks like there will be lots of fantastic music while we’re there.

Budapest is smaller than Prague, and sadly received more damage during World War II. This is a lovely church in Budapest.

]]> Any ethnomusicologists out there who are curious about the great Hungarian composers? Talking mostly about my faves, Bartok and Kodaly. The Good Musician will be in Budapest mid-June and welcomes suggestions for good sounds. in addition to churches and cathedrals.

The exquisite Hungarian Opera House is one of Europe’s jewels.
