Tens of thousands of concert goers still cherish the experience of attending the 30 May concerts at which Zoltán Kocsis celebrated his birthday with an evening to help children’s charities. Though this tradition drew to a close with the passing of the great artist, it has been continued in a slightly different form with the Day of Hungarian Classical Music, which simultaneously pays tribute to Kocsis, a self-sacrificing promoter of common values, and pays tribute to the outstanding virtues of Hungarian music culture, both past and present. New music must always be played on Day of Hungarian Classical Music, and this year the young generation is represented with Levente Gyöngyösi’s Divertimento No. 3. Its engaging nature connects this work to Bartók’s 1939 masterpiece in the same genre. Leó Weiner’s Concertino for piano and orchestra is a valuable gem of Hungarian music that rarely finds a place in the spotlight, yet will deservedly be brought to our attention on this occasion with the help of János Balázs. The programme’s finale will come from Kodály’s series of variations The Peacock, a deeply meaningful and iconic opus of 20th century Hungarian music. The conductor of the evening is Levente Török, chief conductor and artistic director of the Miskolc Symphony Orchestra.
A production of the National Philharmonic and the Liszt Academy.
Our offer
For the opening concert of the 2025/2026 season, the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and its Kossuth Prize-winning chief music director György Vashegyi invite the audience first and foremost on a pleasant retrospective by performing Le Roi d’Ys overture from Lalo’s opera, which will cast our minds back to the recent successful premiere of the work in Hungary.
The guest appearance of the world-famous American maestro Lawrence Foster, who represents the senior age group of the international community of composers, promises to be among the outstanding events of the season. The musician with Romanian parents has conducted the Hungarian National Philharmonic on several occasions and each visit has attracted an enthusiastic response.
Concert-format opera performance in four acts, with one intermission, in Italian
