The Chroma International Music Festival takes place across several historic and acoustically rich venues in and around Miskolc, Hungary, with the Bartók Béla Music Institute serving as the festival's primary location.
Bartók Béla Music Institute
As the festival's main venue, the Bartók Institute offers beautiful performance halls and practice rooms within a dedicated music school setting. It is located in the heart of Miskolc and provides an inspiring environment for both performers and audiences.
Address: Bartók tér 1, 3525 Miskolc, Hungary
Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Miskolc
Built between 1785 and 1806, the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral is one of the finest Zopf-style sacred interiors in Hungary. Its 16-meter iconostasis, painted by the Viennese master Anton Kuchelmeister with eighty-eight scenes from the life of Christ, rises behind a nave whose long natural reverberation carries unaccompanied voice and sacred chamber music with extraordinary warmth. It is a fitting setting for choral works, solo voice recitals, and small-ensemble programs drawn from the Orthodox and broader Christian traditions.
Address: Miskolc, Hungary
Szeleta Park Visitor Center
Set in the Bükk Mountains within the UNESCO Global Geopark of the same name, Szeleta Park hosts the festival's community-service concert in the visitor-center lobby. Two pianos are available on site, and the informal setting opens the festival's programming to residents of the surrounding region in a relaxed, conversational format.
Address: Lillafüred, Miskolc, Hungary
L'Huillier-Coburg Castle, Edelény
One of Hungary's finest baroque residences, the L'Huillier-Coburg Castle in Edelény pairs an eighteenth-century grand hall with extensively frescoed interiors restored in recent years. Its ceremonial spaces lend themselves to intimate recitals and chamber performances in a setting of exceptional elegance.
Address: Edelény, Hungary
