The 13th Transparent Sound New Music Festival (Átlátszó Hang Újzenei Fesztivál) returns January 9 to February 8, scattering more than twenty concerts and events across the city. International names share space with homegrown talent, while audiences get hands-on with interactive workshops, new-music theater, a film club, and cross-disciplinary happenings that blur the lines between genres and scenes.
Singular // Plural
This year’s theme, Singular // Plural, explores how solo voices collide and collaborate, spotlighting the tension and chemistry between individual expression and collective creation. Expect the color-saturated clash of different artistic worlds: intimate solos rubbing shoulders with adventurous ensembles, improvisers meeting composers, and sound artists teaming up with performers and filmmakers.

Multiple venues keep things moving, turning the festival into a citywide treasure hunt for boundary-pushing sound. Whether you’re there for fresh premieres, exploratory sessions, or the thrill of hearing music break itself open in real time, Transparent Sound (Átlátszó Hang) packs a month of experiments, encounters, and bold listening into the winter calendar.
