The prestigious international jury of Liszt Academy's competition, which will be held in September for pianists with a total prize fund of more than 51,000 euros, will be chaired by Yoheved Kaplinsky, head of the department at the Juilliard School in New York.

Since the pandemic has made it difficult to prepare for the competition, we extend the deadline to 15 June 2021.

On the 140th anniversary of the birth of Béla Bartók, a commemoration of the milestone anniversaries of a career, of understanding, of love: László Vikárius, professor at the Liszt Academy of Music and head of the Bartók Archives of the Institute for Musicology, evokes our great predecessor.

Violinist Ami Oike, who has won a competition in Japan with Bartók’s Violin Concerto No. 2, accepted an invitation from the organisers of the Bartók World Competition just a few days ago to join the jury for the 2021 String Quartet Competition.
