The mission of the MÁV Symphony Orchestra is to share the values of classical music in a vivid, direct, and accessible way for all. 

Since its founding, it has believed in music’s power to connect, inspire, and strengthen communities. Its work is grounded in high artistic standards, a diverse repertoire, and consistent quality, enriched by a close relationship with audiences and a welcoming atmosphere. 

The orchestra places strong emphasis on engaging future audiences, offering musical experiences for all age groups—from young listeners to seasoned concertgoers—while fostering lasting interest in classical music. 

Building on nearly eight decades of tradition, it aims to remain open to contemporary challenges and actively represent its values both in Hungary and internationally. Today, it is recognized among the country’s leading professional orchestras, with a repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary works and an audience of over 50,000 annually, reaching even more through broadcasts.
