For one special evening, Noémi Barkóczi and her band will invite anyone and everyone into their shared apartment. The artists will bring you into their imaginary living space where everyone can feel at home and contribute to bringing her lyrics and musical imagery to life. The intimate atmosphere will recall the shabby romanticism of life in a rented apartment, where lonely but often fruitful moments are punctuated by surprise guests just dropping by. The special apartment concert, on March 9 at Budapest’s Trafó House of Contemporary Arts, will feature a special lineup of guest artists joining in the performance.

Singer-songwriter Noémi Barkóczi burst onto the scene in the early 2010s, with her first full-length album (Nem vagyok itt, 2017) establishing a unique musical universe all her own. After a years-long break, her acoustic sound gave way to an electric guitar in her 2021 album, Dolgom volt, in which she daringly experimented with a more modern, abrasive sound. That album was nominated for a Fonogram award and was named one of the best of the year by numerous national publications. Since then, her band – featuring Kristóf Gulyás of Miüs and Márton Bognár of Kamikaze Scotsmen – has toured Hungarian clubs and festivals, and has proved itself equally at home in front of thousands at Budapest Park and in the basements of countryside venues. Noémi has appeared as a lyricist for the television program Dalfutár, contributed to a song by Vera Jónás and a tribute album to Kaláka, and her music has appeared in several Hungarian films. She is currently working on her third album, from which two songs (Szia fényfolt and Mintha értenék), have already been released.
