Listen to Brahms! 1. — Liszt Academy

Over het evenement

Experience classical music like never before in this astonishing performance of masterworks by Brahms at Budapest's remarkable Liszt Academy Concert Center.

In the first part of the series, the audience listens to the music of the elderly, bearded master.

Liszt Academy Concert Center

The Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music was founded in 1875 by Liszt himself, and was initially called the Royal National Hungarian Academy of Music. Today, the building is home to a prestigious conservatory and fine concert hall, and houses the Liszt Collection, comprising the composer’s manuscripts and books. The institution's dual objective — to provide cultural education and cultural entertainment — makes it unique.

The 'New Academy' is located in a grand Art‐Nouveau building dominated by the statue of Liszt, one of Budapest’s architectural gems. The season offers not only classical concerts, but also jazz, folk, and contemporary music performances.
