On December 2, 2024, the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia directed by Vladimir Spivakov, People's Artist of the USSR and UNESCO Artist for Peace, gave the only concert in the Concert Hall of the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy in Budapest. This unprecedented event is of international impact. The first performance of the NPR in the Hungarian capital has become a kind of symbolic breakthrough, being the first tour of a leading Russian symphony orchestra to Europe in the period of complicated political situation and absence of inter-cultural communications. In the times when Russian collectives have lost all possibilities to appear in Europe and those foreign ones – in Russia, the NPR got and accepted a unique invitation from the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy. The tour concert was arranged with an active assistance of the RF Ministry of Culture and the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Hungary.
