As part of the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme, the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music has launched an international cooperation project in which 3 students from each of six leading European universities – Helsinki, Paris, The Hague, Oslo, Cluj-Napoca, Graz – will come to Budapest to participate in an intensive workshop with students from the Liszt Academy under the guidance of Péter Kováts. The first half of the final concert will feature an overture composed by Schubert in his childhood and the mature Mozart’s two-movement composition, followed by the neoclassicist Respighi’s dances transcribed from Renaissance and Baroque melodies. The Bartók works in the second half of the programme will be a first encounter for most of the students, and will provide them with an excellent opportunity to get to know the Hungarian composer’s works that form the basis of the string orchestra repertoire.
