Now in its seventh edition, the MiraTone Festival and Academy – founded by violinist Miranda Liu – has become one of Central Europe’s most vibrant classical music events. Each year, it brings together internationally acclaimed artists and passionate young musicians in the heart of Budapest.
On the final day of this year’s MiraTone Festival, we welcome one of Hungary’s most respected and beloved pianists: Adrienne Hauser. Her solo recital invites us on a deeply personal musical journey that spans lyrical intimacy, dramatic passion, and folkloric colors — through the works of Schubert-Liszt, Bach, Chopin, and Bartók.
The concert opens with two songs by Franz Schubert, transcribed for solo piano by Franz Liszt. These poetic miniatures capture the soul of Schubert’s melodies while allowing Liszt’s pianistic imagination to shine. Even without words, the music speaks vividly of longing, memory, and reflection.
Next comes Bach’s Partita in A minor — a suite of six elegant dance movements. With clarity, grace, and emotional depth, Hauser brings out the timeless beauty and quiet strength of this Baroque masterpiece. The heart of the recital belongs to Fryderyk Chopin. His 12 Preludes, Op. 28 are like pages from a musical diary — brief, expressive, each a complete universe of feeling. The Scherzo in B-flat minor, with its dramatic contrasts and sweeping gestures, offers a powerful counterpoint: bold, romantic, and intensely moving. To close, Hauser performs Béla Bartók’s Three Folk Songs from Csík County. These short but evocative pieces transform authentic Hungarian folk melodies into refined piano works full of character and color — a perfect ending to a recital that bridges tradition and artistry.
This concert is more than a performance — it is a musical conversation, a journey of the soul, and a quiet celebration of the piano’s expressive power.

Műfajok találkozása! Mit mondhat Mozartról egy jazz-zongorista?... Mennyire szabad a zene, a zenész és Ön, kedves közönség? Szabad a játék? Nem kell aggódni, jó móka lesz! Semmi komoly.
“One is only an instrument played by the universe. A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything”, said Mahler, and this closeness to nature seems most manifest in his Symphony No. 3. The last time that the longest symphony in the history of music was performed by Mahler specialist Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra was ten years ago.
Jörg Widmann is a musical polymath par excellence. He is not only one of the greatest living masters of his instrument, the clarinet, but also an excellent composer, orchestrator and conductor. His compositions are palatable, entertaining, thought-provoking, and inventive. His programs are harmonious and carefully selected.
