Musical Walls – The Sound of Erzsébetváros: Interactive Sound Installations at 7 Sites in the 7th District

The Musical Walls project is a unique interactive sound installation guiding us through the rich musical past and vibrant present of Erzsébetváros, across various sites in Budapest’s 7th District. The aim of this project is to bring residents and visitors closer to the district’s musical heritage through public artworks, linking past and present in harmony. For this purpose, the renowned art collective, Metrum Ensemble, has been chosen as the creative force. Since their debut in 2012, Metrum Ensemble has been a distinctive presence in Hungarian music, reviving the memories of Erzsébetváros through their unique artistic vision, with a special focus on Jewish traditions, cabarets, and coffeehouse music, as well as the district’s working-class and religious musical heritage. Through interactive Sounding Memorials this rich legacy becomes accessible to all, with QR codes allowing people to acces to the curated musical selections on their mobile devices.

“POLISH BLOOD [NEVER FAILED ME YET]” – hommage à Bogusław Schaeffer

“RE-PATCHED” is an international collaborative project aimed at rediscovering the
legacy of progressive Polish composer Bogusław Schaeffer. The collective of artists
explores Schaeffer's unconventional compositional methods, which blend the musical
traditions of the European avant-garde with Eastern European cultural roots, building
a bridge between Eastern and Western European cultural heritage. The project seeks
to preserve Schaeffer's legacy and pass it on to young composers in experimental
and contemporary music.

LeCAKE Train – Ending a project with many new beginnings

LeCAKE: Common Art Knowledge Europe was a project supported by Erasmus+ that focused on the role of the cultural sector in the ecological transition. Running for two years, from October 2022 – October 2024, the project united seven cultural organisations and a think tank to build a common base of knowledge, skills and resources. The project had four phases, moving from knowledge-creation towards hands-on, practical models, methods and tools. Máté Tenke, former project manager and head of sustainability team at Pro Progressione share with us his experiences of the project:
