Organ masterclass and a concert possibility in the Palace of Art (Mupa) in Budapest

The masterclass is unprecedented since those who are accepted as active participants based on their previously sent recordings have not only the chance to play on the organ of the Mupa, but will also have the opportunity to perform on a public concert.
