Within the framework of an international strategic cooperation programme, with the Liszt Academy as the lead organisation, partner institutions from Budapest, the Netherlands and Scotland will collaborate to carry out methodological improvements in music education based on the principles of the Kodály method.

Both the birthday of the founder and namesake of the Liszt Academy, 22 October, and the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum and Research Centre form the inspiration for the gala concert series taking place in the Chamber Hall of the Old Academy of Music on each Saturday of this month.

The 13-15 October 2016 workshop focuses on the ensemble management.

The II Éva Marton International Singing Competition organized by the Liszt Academy came to an end with the triumph of Belarusian bassist Alexander Roslavets.

The Belarusian Alexander Roslavets won the €15,000 Grand Prix and the Audience Prize of the Éva Marton International Singing Competition in the final on Saturday; the only Hungarian competitor, Lilla Horti, won second prize.

The II Éva Marton International Singing Competition organized by the Liszt Academy between 19-25 September can even be watched live on the competition website via an online feed.

A brief CV and programme of each competitor is available on the competition website. You can find out everything about preparations for the competition, the jury and behind-the-scenes secrets in the competition catalogue.

World-famous soprano Anna Prohaska brings arias by Baroque heroines to the Liszt Academy. In an interview with the Concert Magazine she speaks about her programme choice, dream roles, development of her voice and discrimination against women.

The course, which is also open for foreign students is provided by two acknowledged professors of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, Gábor Csalog and András Kemenes. As a guest performer, Balázs Horváth composer is participating in the five days program as well.
