Welcome!
I am proud to have been born in Sombor, a city with a respectable musical tradition.
In this very hall, where this concert is held, many great artists have performed, among them the students of Franz Liszt, who traveled the world and came to this town to provide an appreciative audience with a classical musical experience of the highest caliber.
I believe that music is a bridge between people, which not only bridges borders, but also breaks down the walls that separate us. With music, we reach the place where only man and man exist. I think that musical art has a centuries-old tradition, which sooner or later will touch all people, who will understand its essence and message. In this sense, I want the concerts of the newly founded Sombor Philharmonic to contribute to numerous musical experiences to the mutual satisfaction of both the audience and the performers.
István Székely, Director and Artistic Director of the Sombor Philharmonic
