Andrés Orozco-Estrada | Gürzenich-Orchester Köln
János Palojtay, a leading performing artist of his generation, will play two works by Liszt that each meet the description of a concerto. He will be partnered by one of the longest-standing German ensembles, the Gürzenich-Orchester of Cologne, which in the 19th century appeared in concert with such composers as Berlioz, Verdi and Wagner. They were responsible for the world premieres of important works, both operas and symphonic pieces. At the Liszt Fest, they will be directed by Columbian violinist and conductor, Andrés Orozco-Estrada. The Budapest audience may well be familiar with the excellent conductor as he has appeared in the concert halls of Müpa Budapest and the Liszt Academy several times, as the guest of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and other ensembles. He is currently principal conductor of the Italian Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai, and is the general music director of the Gürzenich-Orchester from the 2025/2026 season.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
