Budapest                          back to main page
On June 9, 2001 I performed  Liszt and the Cross at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest.  This past June I took the students from the Bösendorfer International Piano Academy to see this remarkable city, home of so many great musicians including Liszt and Bartok.
