Programs
Russian-American violinist Alexander Markov performed the Sibelius Violin Concerto with the Budapest Concert Orchestra (MÁV) on December 12 to a full and enthusiastic house at the Academy of Music.
Another violin virtuoso who does, in fact, have the subtlety, refinement and good taste to make real music is the young Japanese woman Akiko Suwanai, who was the youngest-ever winner of the Tchaikovsky Violin Competition when she was only 18. She will play Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, conducted by Iván Fischer, at the Palace of Arts on Saturday, December 27 and twice on Sunday, December 28.
Young writers from all over Hungary will once again take centre stage in the Fourth Annual Short Story Writing contest. Last year, over 300 students from both International and Hungarian schools entered their own short stories, in English.
