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.

Variart Trio Presented by Liszt Academy

Beethoven, Francaix, Weiner

Beethoven: String Trio in E-flat major, Op. 3

INTERMISSION

Francaix: String Trio
Weiner: String Trio in G minor, Op. 6

Gábor Németh (violin), Eszter Kalocsai (viola), Eszter Agárdi (cello)

Variart Trio sums up its mission: young people, musicians, friends. Indeed, the members have been playing together since they were Liszt Academy students. The ensemble has been promoting the string trio genre through its concerts, and its ever-expanding repertoire ranges from Viennese classical to contemporary music. Their programmes also include works by lesser-known foreign and Hungarian composers. Beethoven’s string trios are a rarity, and the composer presumably treated them as studies for his later quartets. Weiner’s 1908 work was well received, and critics in the press of the time described it as a new level of music compared to his previous work. The concert programme is completed with Jean Françaix’s Trio of 1933.
