So that music lovers in need of help can attend our concerts held in the Kodály Centre at times and in arrangements most suitable for them, the Pannon Philharmonic Orchestra will continue its highly acclaimed 1 More Chance! Series also in the 2025/2026  ALL-IN Season, which will present a choice of symphonic works from the evening concerts. In this series, people with disabilities or social needs (within an institutional framework) can attend the dress rehearsals of our concerts free of charge. Only groups from institutions can attend these events, as the hall's capacity allows. Should you be a member of an advocacy organisation, please, turn to the chairman of your organisation for more information.

Members of The Hungarian Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted and wheelchair-bound music lovers can also attend our evening concerts free of charge at the seats reserved especially for them.

Perhaps there was no profession in America in the middle of the 20th century in which as many Hungarians made such a lasting impact as in music. Most of the great American orchestras raised their standards under Hungarian conductors, and many Academy Awards in Hollywood were awarded to Hungarians. Also, several influential Hungarian pieces were commissioned in the US. We can hear some of these at this concert.

In his old age, Dohnányi left Hungary against his will, and after several years of silence, he composed the American Rhapsody for a university celebration. In that, he recounted his homesickness for Hungary with an American piece. Similarly, Bartók's Concerto was conceived in emigration, in fact, in the shadow of war. Miklós Rózsa, on the other hand, had always longed to leave Budapest and found his true life in America. At this concert, come and visit our American relatives!
