Gábor Takács-Nagy & Liszt Academy Symphony Orchestra Presented by Liszt Academy

“Gábor, you could be a very good conductor – your body language is very clear and expressive.” These words of György Solti were decisive for Gábor Takács-Nagy, who as a world-famous violinist of nearly two decades became increasingly interested in conducting. At the helm of the world’s leading ensembles and as conductor of the Liszt Academy Symphony Orchestra, Takács-Nagy regularly proves that he is capable of getting the most out of musicians. He believes that a conductor has to do three things: inspire with his presence and advice, help with his movements, and give musicians self-confidence. The programme of Gábor Takács-Nagy and the Liszt Academy Symphony Orchestra features Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture, Violin Concerto in E minor and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8. Giovanni Guzzo takes the stage as soloist in the violin concerto; he consistently impresses audiences with his unique and passionate technique.
