The Fidelio editorial board, aided by a number of renowned patrons, have compiled this year’s list of artists who made an outstanding contribution to their field last year. The list includes three lecturers at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music.

Postponed from spring due to the epidemic, the Leó Weiner Memorial Prize, awarded by the Liszt Academy Board of Trustees, was now handed over at a closed event.

This time around, the Liszt Academy invited composers to submit entries for this year's round of the Bartók World Competition, with works written for string quartet. A record number of 348 valid applications were submitted from 59 countries by the official deadline. The final result of the competition will be announced at the gala event scheduled for November 28.
