On March 5, 2026, Pápa tunes up for an intimate, high-caliber night of music as the Musica Pannonica Reformata concert series returns to the Pannonia Reformata Museum, right in the historic core at 8500 Pápa, Fő utca 6–8. Alongside its standout exhibitions, the museum is doubling down on live performance in 2026, promising special musical experiences with a close-up feel and rich acoustics inside one of the town’s most atmospheric cultural spaces. The opening highlight: BACH275, a solo program from recorder virtuoso Dániel Szurasenko, celebrating Bach with nimble, expressive playing that turns the recorder into a storyteller’s voice. Capacity is limited, the setting is personal, and the vibe is grounded in Pápa’s Baroque-meets-Reformed heritage, making it a prime ticket for anyone chasing clarity and craft over spectacle.
