Although the Bartók World Competition has not yet been running for several decades, it is already one of the most prestigious competitions in the world: hundreds of entries are received for each year, and every year the audience and jury hear world-class performances - not only in the final but also in the preliminaries thanks to the video preselection round. The preliminaries will be held in the Solti Hall of the Liszt Academy

Semi-finals: 6 September 19:00; 7 September 15:00 and 19:00

Every two years, the competition organises an instrumental round, with a composition competition in the even years.

The semi-finals will also be held in the Solti Hall of the Liszt Academy.

Orchestral finals: 9 September, 15:00 and 19:00. Tickets are available by clicking on the selected time.

Featuring: students of the Liszt Academy and the Hungarian University of Fine Arts

The creator of the series titled “Password” is Balázs Fülei, who, as the head of the Chamber Music Department, has a unique understanding of young musicians’ repertoire and their preferences when putting together musical programs. The series creates a creative space where the oft-mentioned, enriching cooperation and joint creation between various artistic fields takes place in practice. The event involves two branches of art where the message has an immediate impact without linguistic encoding: music and fine arts. Students from the Liszt Academy and the Hungarian University of Fine Arts start working together based on a jointly determined theme, a keyword. It’s like a free association exercise involving talented young people studying a given profession at the highest level. Alongside existing creations, new works are also born in both fields. The concert will feature installations in the form of photos and videos of paintings, sculptures, and miniature sculptures. These fine art creations will be on display at a separate exhibition at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts for a few weeks after the concert.
