At 6 pm (CET) on 10 June 2020, the senior lecturer of the Liszt Academy is giving lecture upon the invitation of Kirill Gerstein.

The former professor of the Chamber Music Department passed away on 26 April, at the age of 95.

We are building very important bridges between the different realms of music, says Máté Bella, assistant professor at the Liszt Academy, who is the co-composer of this year's Phonogram Award-winning pop song. This is not the first time that he has experimented with different genres and experienced the creative processes of both sides.

The Award Committee granted the 2020 Bartók-Pásztory Prize to violinist Barnabás Kelemen, professor at the Liszt Academy, and composer Péter Zombola. The university will hold the award ceremony on September 3.

On the occasion of the national holiday on 15 March, in memory of the 1848–49 Revolution and War of Independence, several current and former lecturers of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music received state honours: Dénes Várjon, Csaba János Somos, Katalin Hraschek, Péter Erdei, Gábor Bretz, Vilmos Szabadi, Dr. Andrea Vigh and István Ruppert.
