We would like to inform our audience that according to the government decision effective from 11 November 2020, no public events can be held, so we are unable to hold concerts at the Liszt Academy with an audience. However, our audience will not be left without a concert experience, as most of our performances will be held and broadcast online in our Digital Concert Hall, and most of the concerts of the orchestras organizing concert series at the Liszt Academy will also be available online.

Dénes Várjon is considered one of the world’s most brilliant pianists both as soloist and chamber performer. Now the audience can revel in his refined keyboard technique, rich repertoire and incredible stamina all in a single concert. He plays piano concertos by Bach, Beethoven and Mozart with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe founded in 1981; the ensemble has won multiple prizes with their recordings, and its members have been recruited from 15 countries. ‘Concertos for several instruments’ it says at the beginning of the famous series by Bach. Although the violin and flute also receive more modest roles, the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 is in fact the first keyboard concerto in music history. From certain aspects, Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 is also a first: the first in the genre where at the beginning of the piece the piano precedes the orchestra. The serenade paying tribute to the Baroque, scored for two small orchestras and considered the predecessor of night music is followed by the double piano concerto by Mozart, in which Izabella Simon joins the musicians.
