Wanderer’s Life 2.0 – in the footsteps of Verdi and Wagner A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Buoyed up by the huge success of the 2011 “Wanderer’s Life – in the footsteps of Ferenc Liszt” competition for secondary school students (nearly 600 students from more than 80 secondary schools took part in the challenge), Jeunesses Musicales Hungary and the Liszt Academy are this year organizing a contest entitled “Wanderer’s Life 2.0 – in the footsteps of Verdi and Wagner” in honour of the two geniuses born exactly 200 years ago this year. The offline final of the competition arranged via vandorelet.hu, featuring the six best quintets, takes place in the restored Chamber Hall. The clash between the finalist teams is open to the public, and judging is conducted by an illustrious jury: Éva Marton, Kossuth Prize winner singer; András Batta, Rector of the Liszt Academy; Szilveszter Ókovács, Director of the Hungarian State Opera; Zoltán Farkas, Intendant of Bartók Radio.
