About the Liszt Ferenc Society
The Liszt Ferenc Society bears the name of the famous Hungarian pianist and composer, Ferenc (Franz) Liszt. There were attempts to
form a society bearing his name already in his lifetime. The Hungarian Liszt Society was founded in 1893 and functioned with several
interruptions until the end of World War II. The Society did not line up to any political program, therefore it could not function in the years of
severe communist oppression. Its second foundation was in 1973. Since the political changes of 1990 it is a free civil association promoting
the culture in Hungary.
The activity of the Society is directed by a presidium.
•
President: Csaba Király, pianist and organist, associate professor of the Faculty of Music and Visual Art, University of Pécs
•
Honorary Life President: István Lantos, pianist and organist, professor of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music
•
Co-presidents:
Mária Eckhardt, chief adviser and academic director of the Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum and Research Centre
József Bánky, retired piano professor of the Faculty of Music and Visual Art, University of Pécs

•
Additional members of the presidium:
Mária G. Kóbor (National Library of Foreign Languages), head of the Budapest Section

Gáborné Somlai, pensioner, technician; head of the Szekszárd Section
Bencsik Erzsébet, retired piano teacher, head of the Sopron Section
Ildikó Pogány, piano teacher of the Liszt Ferenc Music School Pécs, head of the Pécs Section
The Liszt Ferenc Society is a member of the Hungarian Music Council. The Society has a centre in Budapest and groups in the towns
Pécs, Sopron, Szeged and Szekszárd. The total number of members is 623.
The aims of the Society are to spread the cult of Liszt’s music and personality and propagate his noble ideas.

illustrations) and of concerts.

•
Every year the Society awards the Ferenc Liszt International Record Grand Prix, for which CD-s issued in the previous year may
