Ede Zathureczky, one of the most significant Hungarian violinists of the 20th century and former president of the Liszt Academy, was born 115 years ago.

Lukács Pál violist, who established the viola education in the Hungarian higher education, would be having his 100th birthday on 27 April 2019. To commemorate the late master's life-work the Strings Department of the Liszt Academy holds a competition in his memory.

It was 160 years ago when Jenő Hubay (1858-1937) an outstanding representative of Hungarian music was born. The anniversary provides us with the opportunity to breathe new life into his figure, to celebrate someone whose career was connected at its major stages to Ferenc Liszt and the Liszt Academy.
