  1. I am a music professor from the University of California, Riverside, and I would like to contact the director of the concert series in 2017 at the Buda Castle. Is there an email of the concert series director that you could kindly give to me. Thank you.

    • Dear Professor Barnett,
      thank you for your inquiry.
      I would recommend you to contact the Museum of Music History directly at: museum [at] zti.hu
