I am delighted that a festival is being created in Bratislava that highlights his strong connection with this city while bringing his music to audiences through performances by world-class artists. I believe the concerts will attract not only classical music lovers, but also people who may only now be beginning to discover it,\u201d<\/strong> says Filip T\u016fma.\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/blockquote>\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<section>\r\n\t\t<h2>Franz Liszt returns to Bratislava<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\tBratislava was far more than just another stop in Liszt\u2019s life. He had family roots connecting him to the city and its surroundings. Moreover, it was here, at the age of nine, that he performed at a concert that helped launch his extraordinary international career.\r\n\t\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\tHe developed a deep relationship with the city and repeatedly returned to what was then Pressburg throughout his life \u2013 as a performer, composer, conductor and respected figure of European musical culture.\r\n\t\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\tThe festival aims to revive this almost forgotten chapter of Bratislava\u2019s history and bring Liszt back into the awareness of the city\u2019s residents. Not as a distant figure from history books, but as a fascinating person and artist whose music still has the energy and power to move audiences today.\r\n\t\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\tThe creation of the festival is also a contribution to Bratislava\u2019s cultural life and to its ambition to be a city that understands its history, develops it and transforms it into a living experience for both local residents and international visitors.\r\n\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<section>\r\n\t\t<h2>Ten days of music in extraordinary venues<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t\t<p>\r\n\t\t\tThe festival will take place from <strong>16 to 25 October 2026<\/strong>.
