Welcome to the website of the Budapest Saxophone Days in Budapest, Hungary, 13–16 March 2025. The Budapest Saxophone Days were first held two years ago at the Liszt Academy. The initiator of the event, Erzsébet Seleljo, a saxophone teacher at the Liszt Academy, created the event with a twofold aim. On the one hand, she wanted to invite renowned saxophone professors to Budapest, from whom saxophone students from Hungary and the surrounding area could learn in a few days of master classes, and on the other hand, she wanted to introduce these excellent artists to the Hungarian audience, who - unless they are closely interested in classical saxophone - may not necessarily find these excellent performers on various online platforms. Drawing on the success and positive feedback from both the masterclass and the concert, the Budapest Saxophone Days will be organized again in 2025 and, similarly to the event two years ago, this year's event will be organized in close collaboration with the French Institute. This year, the invited saxophonists Valentine Michaud and Nicolas Prost will perform at two concerts: on 13 March at the French Institute, Nicolas Prost and Sebastiene Paindestre will perform their Border Jazz program, and on 15 March at the Liszt Academy, pieces by French composers will be performed by Valentine Michaud and Nicolas Prost as soloists, with Péter Kemény conducting the Zak Saxophone Ensemble. From 14-16 March, the two artists will give a masterclass at the Liszt Academy.  

Tickets for the concert will go on sale soon.

You can register for the master classes as an active or passive participant. More information HERE.
