On the 140th anniversary of the birth of Béla Bartók, a commemoration of the milestone anniversaries of a career, of understanding, of love: László Vikárius, professor at the Liszt Academy of Music and head of the Bartók Archives of the Institute for Musicology, evokes our great predecessor.

In 2021, the board of trustees awarded the Bartók–Pásztory Prize to opera singer Andrea Rost and composer-bassoonist Zoltán Kovács. In line with traditions, the awarding ceremony was held online on Bartók's birthday.
