The Budapest Festival Orchestra
​
-
MFAI currently focusses on building long term sustainable music programmes in high quality ASD schools/organisations utilising classically trained musicians who also function as facilitators
​
-
If some ASD schools/organisations wish to offer much shorter programmes to ASD children and their families, we formally recommend BFO’s Cocoa Concerts, produced and played by musicians from the Budapest Festival Orchestra (BFO), one of the world’s leading orchestras
​
-
These programmes, which last for 40-45 minutes are led by Maestro Ivan Fischer, one of the world’s leading conductors
​
-
The goal of the Cocoa Concerts is to permit ASD children and their families to experience a classical music concert in an autism friendly environment
