The 2024/2025 season marks the 10th anniversary of Virtuosos, the international classical music talent competition. Over the past decade, the show has not only discovered and supported numerous young talents but has also promoted the values of classical music worldwide. This special jubilee season will dazzle audiences with a more prestigious jury than ever before and a brand-new visual concept.
Our founder, Mariann Peller, shared her vision of creating a show that resonates with younger generations. ‘Virtuosos has become much more than a television program—it is equally about talent development as it is about the broadcasts themselves. For a decade, it has enriched Hungary’s musical life through cultural innovation, introducing new interpretations in classical music, nurturing young talents, and offering fresh perspectives on tradition.’
Supported by the Ministry of Culture and Innovation of Hungary, the program not only aims to foster young talents but also provides a unique opportunity for emerging artists to share the stage with global stars at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York and the O2 Arena in London.
The main sponsor of the jubilee season is MVM Zrt.
