The Franz Liszt Memorial Museum and Research Center is organizing an international conference with the participation of researchers from eight countries. The lectures are given in English and German language. The conference was created with the aim that researchers working in different institutions and countries can share the latest results of the Liszt-research, exchange their experiences personally, also coordinate the future goals of the research.
During the two-day meeting, in addition to foreign experts, Hungarian researchers, primarily the members of the Franz Liszt Research Center will present the current situation of the Hungarian Liszt-research. The conference days are closed by a CD and book presentation, and the event ends with the Museum’s upcoming morning concert, Marouan Benabdallah’s piano recital on 18 May.
