Summary/Abstract: Where music is concerned, the Budapest Autumn Festival, founded in 1992, is the direct successor to the Contemporary Music Weeks that similarly took place in late October, with the same function of offering a two-way window. New Hungarian music is shown to the world, or at least to a decent number of professional and non-professional visitors, while Budapest audiences—and composers—are exposed to new work from abroad.
