In addition to teaching at the Liszt Academy, Széchenyi István University and the University of Miskolc, Balázs Réti has played concerts all over the world, in venues ranging from Berlin's Konzerthaus to the Teatro Degollado in Guadalajara, the Knights' House of Wartburg Castle and Jakarta's Balai Sarbini. Bringing his virtuosity, sensitive rubatos and improvisational performance style to play the Appassionata, one of the grandest and most iconic of the 32 sonatas, will be Liszt Award- and Kossuth Prize-winner János Balázs, a musician who always captivates the audience. Balázs Demény is one of the outstanding talents of the younger generation of pianists and the victor of the Ile-de-France and Lagny-sur-Marne international piano competitions in 2017 and 2018, respectively. In 2015, he recorded an album of works by Schumann and Bartók at the Budapest Music Center, which followed his 2011 solo album Liszt Memorial Year. Ildikó Rozsonits is the youngest performer at the Beethoven Sonata Weekend: the 14-year-old pianist attends the Liszt Academy's School for Exceptional Young Talents and in recent years has won a host of Hungarian and European competitions in her age category. And just like Krisztián Kocsis on the first day, on the second, Fülöp Ránki too will evoke a great family tradition, as the young musician represents the same inspiration and exigency in his playing as his world-renowned father Dezső Ránki.
