Farkas Gábor Gábriel brings his Symphonic Christmas Concert Show back to Budapest on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at 7:00 PM, lighting up the RaM-ArT Theater (RaM-ArT Színház) with swing, sparkle, and a full symphonic glow. It’s a co-headlining evening with the Gödöllő Symphony Orchestra (Gödöllői Szimfonikus Zenekar) and the Farkas Gábriel Band, renewing a holiday tradition that began in 2002 at the Budapest Moulin Rouge (Budapesti Moulin Rouge) and has since sold out up to four times a season. Address: 1133 Budapest, 13th District, Kárpát Street (Kárpát utca) 23–25. Organizers reserve the right to change the time and program. Tickets: $19.40–$36.10.
The Band, the Orchestra, the Magic
On stage: vocalist Farkas Gábor Gábriel, conductor Márton Rácz, pianist Attila Juhász, drummer Tamás Berdisz, bassist Péter “Bubu” Farkas, and the Gödöllő Symphony Orchestra—plus a “magical” female voice joining this year. Gábriel and his jazz trio unveil a fresh set list, weaving Sinatra’s greatest hits with warm, wintry anthems of Christmas and festive preparations.
Traditions, Surprises, Sing-Alongs
Expect surprises and a communal chorus on classics from the “Classics of Hungarian Pop.” As every year, the crowd belts out Piramis’ Gift (Ajándék) from Gábriel’s Hungarian-language album. Think hot cocoa, pine scent, and glittering ornaments as the winter solstice approaches. True to form, Gábriel the entertainer threads songs with stories—touching and hilarious—sending everyone home humming, holiday-ready.
