The Budapest encore of the Szent Gellért Festival takes place tonight, September 28, at 19:30 in the Grand Hall of the Liszt Academy. According to Anima Musicae's official programme, cellist Li La appears with the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra and the Szent Gellért Wind Ensemble under conductor Yoon Kuk Lee.
The programme opens with Mozart's Divertimento in B-flat major, K.137, followed by Yoon Kuk Lee's C-minor cello concerto arrangement drawing on the K.375 and K.388 wind serenades. Mozart's Symphony No.39 in E-flat major, K.543 closes the evening after the interval.
Official ticket categories are HUF 3,900, 4,900, 6,900 and 7,900. Commercially, the event is a strong example of extending a regional festival brand into Budapest through a premium venue, international artists and tiered ticketing.
For FestivalTV, the key lesson is brand extension beyond the core festival dates: a separate city encore creates a new audience, fresh sponsorship inventory and additional editorial content.
