Liszt & Bartók Workshops Draw to a Close

2014. június 13.

The cooperation project of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest and the Haute École de Musique de Genève launched during the fall of 2013 closes on 19 June 2014 with the gala concert of the Liszt piano master class.

The project titled "Pilgrimage of musical geniuses – Liszt and Bartók in Switzerland and Hungary" aimed at strengthening the cooperation between the two institutions through workshops on the two world-renowned Hungarian composers. The workshops consisted of master classes held by professors from both institutions, as well musicology lectures exploring the places and memorial sites connected to the two composers in both cities, which the participants also had the chance to visit.

In the framework of the Budapest workshop László Somfai, professor emeritus of the Liszt Academy holds a lecture on Béla Bartók's String Quartet No. 2. and No. 6. on June 14. The gala concert of the Bartók string quartet master class takes place on June 18 at 7 p.m. in room XXIII of the main building of the Liszt Academy on Liszt Ferenc Square, while the Liszt piano workshop concludes with a festive concert on June 19 in the Cupola Hall.
