Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok

**Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok** is a vibrant Hungarian symphony orchestra founded in 1993 and based in Budapest’s Budafok district. Named after the legendary Hungarian composer and conductor Ernő Dohnányi, the ensemble has built a reputation for its fresh interpretations of classical masterworks and championing modern Hungarian composers. Known for their energetic performances and collaborative spirit, they’ve become a staple in Hungary’s cultural scene, blending traditional orchestral rigor with adventurous programming.

Their recent releases, like *Bartók: Bluebeard’s Castle* and László Dubrovay’s piano concertos, highlight their dedication to celebrating Hungary’s rich musical heritage while spotlighting contemporary voices like László Nyitrai and János Vajda. Led by passionate conductors and frequently partnering with soloists, the orchestra balances dramatic intensity (as heard in their haunting *Bluebeard* recording) with lyrical sensitivity, making them a dynamic force in both live performances and studio recordings.
