The Liszt Fest Has Come to an End – The Countdown to the Bartók Spring Has Begun
A concert in the dark, the finest musical ensembles, world-class conductors and soloists, groundbreaking dance performances, a whirlwind of literary and visual art events, daring artistic experiments and a brilliant stand-in at the helm of The Cleveland Orchestra: this year, too, the Liszt Fest explored unexpected perspectives in Budapest, a city that evokes the most beautiful faces of vibrant metropolises. If the festival has ended, things keep moving and we are pleased to introduce the first events of the next Bartók Spring International Arts Weeks.
From the Pioneers of Contemporary Music to Liszt’s Monumental Christus – Works and Artists Who Are Not Afraid to Experiment at the 2026 Liszt Fest
Autechre, London Sinfonietta, Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra, Alan Gilbert, Leif Ove Andsnes and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, FrenÁk Company, Danube Art Ensemble, Autumn Margó Literary Festival, and Isolation Budapest: the Liszt Fest starts on 8 October and runs until the 22nd. In the spirit of its namesake, the festival continues to explore new perspectives, blend genres and connect distant worlds.
Internationally Acclaimed Artists and Exclusive Premieres at the Liszt Fest
Ferenc Liszt’s uncompromising spirit of elevating art above all else has been a key focus of the festival since its launch in 2021, and in the same vein, this autumn’s festival will once again feature a sparkling line-up of productions that push the boundaries of their genres. The programme of the Liszt Fest International Cultural Festival features leading ensembles of classical music, legends and productions that carve out new directions. Tickets are already available for the announced events of the arts festival, which takes place in October.
