1st Budapest International Guitar Competition – Gala Concert A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The classical guitar is gaining popularity the world over: more and more children choose it as their first instrument, and ever more brilliant guitar workshops are being set up around the world. One such can be found at the Liszt Academy, and its leader, Liszt and Artisjus Prize holder József Eötvös. After several international guitar festivals, numerous major awards and an enthusiastically received album (in which he plays his own guitar transcription of Bach’s Goldberg Variations), Eötvös decided to establish an international guitar competition. The preliminary rounds and semi-finals – held in front of a jury of illustrious international artists – take place in classroom X of the Liszt Academy between 5-7 November, while the venue for the final and gala concert on 8 November is the Solti Hall.
