Liszt Academy Season Pass 2024/25 - Inspiration and Form

The old is a source of inspiration for the new, and a new form creates a new quality; this is a game that exhilarates and creates value.

Our series' programme repertoire in the upcoming season is rich in re-interpretations and musical variations, providing us with the magical sensation of the "familiar, yet different". As you might have already perceived, the individual compositions receive a new framework to perfectly match the high performance standard and turn our concerts into unforgettable musical experiences. We have invited some prestigious figures of the international and Hungarian music scenes to our five-concert series, who range from stars making their breakthrough young to great musicians who have been proving themselves for decades. Yet, one statement applies to each one of them: they are unique artists, and their stage presence and openness perfectly suit our ensemble's profile. Thus, beyond the marvellous solos, you can also relish the fruit of joint music-making at our concerts.
