Liszt Anniversary Festival
LISZT ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL 2016
organized by the Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum and Research Center 1-29 October, Liszt Ferenc Chamber Hall
The Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum will be celebrating its 30th anniversary this fall. Since Liszt’s birthday, 22 October will be a Saturday – just like in the memorial year of 2011 – the Museum will organize a whole festival month with a series of concerts. The five Saturdays will consist of not only Matinees but there will be concerts in the afternoon and on Friday evening preceding Liszt’s birthday. There will be appearances by excellent musicians all of whom are celebrated and distinguished interpreters of the Liszt heritage and supporters of the Museum as well. The program of the 11 concerts has been put together with the intention of performing the widest possible variety of Liszt’s works. There will be excerpts from solo, 2-hand and 2-piano pieces, chamber music, male and mixed choirs. We are planning to include rarely played pieces as well. To enrich the commemoration a few pieces by Liszt’s contemporaries and by his favorite composers have been included, like Orlande de Lassus, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann and Eduard Lassen. Other composers will be part of the program in the form of transcriptions by Franz Liszt himself.
