A singular project worth 4 million connecting the musical sector of the Balkans with European markets, MOST closes with striking success. The Hangvető-devised initiative with 10 partners ventured to give a boost to Balkan music via closer ties to Europe, setting it on a long-term path of wide-spread appreciation and professional success. The four-year project, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme, stands out as a new model for regional development, nurturing regional brand and identity and generating business through culture.

MOST Music is all about building a stronger, more personal network between the Balkan music market and Western Europe. As the partnership realized, to boost the region’s music scene, more local opportunities are needed to be created – this is what Urban Project Hub is all about.
“The Balkan:MOST Showcase Festival was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to the resilience, creativity, and boundless potential of the Balkan music industry.”
Our MOST project has come to an end with an amazing three-day-long music festival. Dóra Badics from our Sound Pillar went to the city of Veszprém to represent us at the BALKAN:MOST Festival. Now she talks about the event and her unique experience in detail.

“It was exhilarating to see an audience”
