Over four summer weekends, the “Hungarian Versailles” will once again come to life: the Haydneum concert series evokes the golden age of Eszterháza with a rich programme that is at once celebratory and intimate. Naturally, Haydn’s symphonies—abundant in both grandeur and humour, and written within the palace walls—will resound, alongside Mozart’s magnificent piano concertos, as well as works by Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Michael Haydn.

Beyond these well-known masterpieces, audiences will also encounter rare gems by Kalkbrenner, Albrechtsberger, Michael Haydn, and even Charles Burney, while selected evenings are given a distinctive flavour by verbunkos-inspired melodies, recalling the passionate world of Hungarian music of the era.

All of this is brought to life by Hungary’s leading artists of historically informed performance: in the festive orchestral concerts, the Orfeo Orchestra under the direction of György Vashegyi with Petra Somlai as soloist, as well as Capella Savaria and its soloists; and in the chamber concerts, Ensemble Variabile alongside outstanding Hungarian fortepiano duos.
