A range of grand masterpieces, a true music historical overview from Bach to Ligeti and the presence of the season's prevailing themes will dominate the series, ranging from the opening concerto to Hungarian Gems, the already established Christmas concert and the Romantic French opera gala conducted by György Vashegyi. In the spirit of the above, the programme, also offering a premiere, features the performances of nearly all of the season's international and Hungarian guest artists: Dezső Ránki, Nikolai Lugansky, Kristóf Baráti, Barnabás Kelemen, Lucas Debargue, Jonathan Biss, Dénes Várjon and Izabella Simon as well as the two soloists of Bluebeard’s Castle, Gábor Bretz and Szilvia Vörös.
