Bartók World Competition

Admission is free. 

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

Admission is free. 

Every two years, the competition organises an instrumental round, with a composition competition in the even years. In 2022, the  task was to write a violin-piano duo, the winning pieces became compulsory pieces for the current semi-final: all competitors must perform one of them. 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.

Only the best young artists will be admitted to the orchestral finals of the Violin Competition, with six young artists scheduled to compete. They will have a choice of seven concertos for the final competition in the main hall of the Liszt Academy: in addition to two Bartók concertos, the final will include a violin concerto by Mendelssohn, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven or Sibelius. Featuring the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Conducted by János Kovács.

 

Gala concert: 10 September at 19:30 in the Great Hall of the Liszt Academy. Tickets are available here.

Tuned to Each Other

Chamber Orchestra of the Bartók Conservatoire

The Bartók Béla Secondary School of Music, Instrument Making and Repair of the Liszt Academy, or Konzi, as it is often referred to, has a long tradition of chamber music training. Each year, the school forms small and large chamber music groups, so that students can study a composition from the repertoire written for a particular instrumentation. These formations are by their very nature occasional ensembles, but at the same time, the shared experience of the intensity of chamber music playing can sometimes become the starting point for long-lasting, even lifelong friendships and collaborations between musicians, or, to put it simply, a life-changing event. Nothing could be more natural than that the programme of “Tuned to One Another” should include, alongside major and popular works from the chamber music repertoire, compositions that are less often heard, but all this is perhaps secondary to the fact that at such a concert the audience can witness the decisive and unrepeatable first steps of musicians’ careers.
