Stage for the Young
The ambition of the BMF programme is to draw attention to the generation of young musicians at the dawn of their professional career in the international context.
The Hungarian cellist Gergely Devich is attending a special class for gifted students at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. In 2014 he came 3rd at the prestigious competition of young performers Eurovision in Cologne. The Slovak trumpetist Stanislav Masaryk became a special pupil of the Bratislava Conservatory as early as a 13-year-old boy. In 2017 he was the total winner of the International Interpretative Competition for Wind Instruments in Brno. The Czech pianist Matyáš Novák has won many national and international competitions. As a soloist he regularly collaborates with professional orchestras and in 2017 he received the opportunity to perform also in Carnegie Hall in New York.
