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.

INTERMISSION

Rachmaninov: Sonata for Cello and Piano in G minor, Op. 19

Máté Tomasz (cello), Sebestyén Pellet (piano)

In 2024, we will celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of the great French cellist Paul Tortelier. Although he never gave a concert in Hungary, Hungarian Radio has regularly broadcast his recordings, so his name is not unknown to Hungarian music lovers. It is well known that Tortelier’s favourite composer was Johann Sebastian Bach, and this explains how  the Viola da Gamba Sonata in G minor was chosen. In addition to his performing career, Tortelier also worked as a composer, writing a number of shorter character pieces for solo cello and cello-piano duet. The concert will include two of his works, and the first part will conclude with Debussy’s Sonata for Cello and Piano, a staple of the cello repertoire. The second part is Rachmaninov’s Sonata in G minor, in which the two instruments play equal roles. Sebestyén Pellet and Máté Tomasz are currently students at the Liszt Academy (the former a master’s student, the latter a doctoral student), and their joint concert promises to be an excellent chamber music experience.
