Slovak-Hungarian contemporary music festival to be held in Budapest
The Slovak Cultural Institute of Budapest and the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music will organise a festival of Slovak and Hungarian contemporary music starting on Thursday, the organisers told MTI on Tuesday.
The event will open with a concert featuring works by three generations of Hungarian and Slovak composers in the grand hall of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The pieces by Slovakia's Jozef Sixta, Daniel Matej and Marian Lejava, and Hungary's Jozsef Soproni, Zoltan Jeney and Bank Sary will be performed by the THReNSeMBLe orchestra.
Other programmes during the festival include a workshop for two Hungarian and two Slovak young composers and a concert by young composers graduating from the Liszt Academy.
The festival will close with a composers' competition before a jury of acclaimed Hungarian musicians on April 23.
