Day of Talent Presented by Liszt Academy

“Génie oblige, as Liszt avowed, and this applies not just for the talented young person but his or her master, too,” remarked Dr Andrea Vigh, president of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. She was speaking in connection with the all-day Day of Talent event organized by the Liszt Academy in February 2018, but her statement applies equally to the 2019 programme. This concert by the Chamber Orchestra of the Liszt Academy sheds light on the level of collaboration between young artists at the threshold of their careers and their masters, with none other than János Rolla at the head of the ensemble, while instrumental soloist for the recital is associate professor of the wind department, clarinettist Zsolt Szatmári. And who better to dominate a programme on the subject of giftedness than the great Mozart? After all, he was the most brilliant, natural talent to shine in the history of music.
