The January 1 concert organised by the Liszt Academy, the Hungarian public service broadcasting organisation MTVA and the Hungarian Radio Music Ensembles, an event that has by now become a tradition, will be conducted in 2022 by Ádám Medveczky, Kossuth Prize-winning artist and lecturer at the Liszt Academy.

Liszt Academy introduced a new service accessible from your home

A defining figure, a head of department who has just resigned his post, bade farewell in a special birthday concert. Kálmán Dráfi represents the oldest traditions of the Liszt Academy, the Liszt–Cziffra line, and has mentored a string of exceptional young musicians who are among the greatest stars on the Hungarian and international musical scenes. As a pianist, he still plays with the same intensity, elegance and emotionality as ever, something that makes him unique in the world today and has earned him success, competition awards and (now rare) concert recordings since his youth.

Due to the significant decrease in the number of ticket purchases, our ticket office will operate under reduced opening hours from 16 October until further notice.
