The European network for world music showcases (UPBEAT), a groundbreaking development programme for the Balkans (MOST), experimental song exchange (POLYGLOT) to innovative music education (Hangjáték) – the Hangvető kitchen always has something cooking. We excel at both ends: dream up innovative projects and carry them out to optimal results, cooperating with partners internationally.
UPBEAT, launched in 2022, is the first ever European showcase platform for world music – the first platform project coordinated by the Hungarian organization, Hangvető. It paves the way for a future-proof industry by supporting new talent, music in the original language, a sustainable and green music industry, and better connected professionals.
Venturing into tertiary education, the Hangvető team developed a summer course within CEU’s framework, exploring the topic of music as heritage. Repeating every year since 2019 and increasingly popular, the course provides insight into modern musicology, explores various aspects of musical heritage management with an emphasis on audience development and socially conscious business policies.
POLYGLOT, the European Song Exchange Incubator, co-funded by the European Union, aims to create and boost hits in their original language and promote European diversity.
Held in Budapest in March 2025, our first event invites partners and stakeholders from V4 countries to exchange needs and best practices to uncover ways Roma musicians in each country may be supported, and areas that require trans-national action.
The mission of MOST was to boost the music market of the Balkans by connecting and supporting people in the world music market. We supported artists, young managers, festivals, music venues and institutions. MOST built a bridge connecting the Southeast European region and the global music market, a bridge made up of personal connections, experience and exchange.
