The Altalena Music Community‘s flagship events are the Altalena Music Festival and the Summer Academy, where leading figures from the music world come from Budapest, London, Berlin, Vienna, Weimar, Munich, Madrid, Paris, Skopje, Skopje and Mexico City to give masterclasses and world-class concerts for young musicians of outstanding talent in a friendly community.
Since the first festival in 2014, Altalena Music Festival has grown into a year-round cultural presence in the region, bringing world-class chamber music and solo performers to beautiful and intimate venues in the Alpokalja region, and later, since 2019 in Telki, one of the very special small towns in the neighbourhood of the Hungarian capital, Budapest.
The annual highlights are the Altalena Music Festival and Summer Academy, which attracts leading musicians and professors from Budapest, London, Berlin, Vienna, Weimar, Munich, Madrid, Paris, Skopje and Mexico City, and a masterclass series for young professionals.
