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.

When considering nature’s inexhaustible energy and gigantic power, then perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is the sea. It is also perfectly understandable that the sight of never-ending movement, the incomprehensibly massive mass of water is always closely tied to the concept of creation. We find the three faces of the sea in the music of Liszt, Debussy and Britten, but all three faces make infinity slightly clearer. György Orbán called the text of his Hymn to the Sun a “cosmic thanksgiving prayer”, which understands, and makes comprehensible, the world created by God through wonderful metaphors.
