The Pannon Philharmonic<\/strong>, established in 1811<\/strong>, is one of Hungary’s best-known and most renowned orchestras. The orchestra was founded in P\u00e9cs, in the south of Hungary, by Mozart’s contemporary, the Viennese conductor Johann Georg Lickl. The music scene in the city, designated to be the European Capital of Culture in 2010, is based on European traditions. The ensemble is the resident orchestra of the concert hall with the most extraordinary acoustics also built in 2010, the Kod\u00e1ly Centre. Still, it can also boast a concert subscription series in M\u00fcpa<\/strong>, Budapest and regularly performs within the framework of the Musik der Meister Series<\/em> of the Viennese Musikverein<\/strong>. The orchestra has collaborated with such international soloists as Jessica Pratt, Dejan Lazi\u0107, Andriy Yurkevych, Olari Elts, Maxim Vengerov, G\u00e9rard Korsten and Benjamin Schmid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the elite of the Hungarian music scene \u2013 Peter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s, Gergely Bog\u00e1nyi, Dezs\u0151 R\u00e1nki, Istv\u00e1n V\u00e1rdai and Barnab\u00e1s Kelemen, are keen to play alongside them. The ensemble is a coproduction partner of M\u00fcpa’s exclusive opera productions and the Budapest Festival Orchestra. Recently, they have taken to the stage in some of the most prominent concert halls in Europe, ranging from the Konzerthaus in Vienna, Graz, Essen, Rouen, Zurich, Leipzig, Hamburg, Geneva, London, Luzern, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Ljubljana and Belgrade to the Grand Hall of the Berlin Philharmonie. The audience attending the concerts of the Pannon Philharmonic, whose vast repertoire ranges from Baroque to Contemporary music, has grown massively in the past fifteen years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the professional partner of the Peter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Contemporary Music Foundation, the ensemble has allowed numerous young talents to introduce themselves to the public. In P\u00e9cs, the orchestra offers various programmes to all age groups of youth, so its audience base built on the next generation is also significant. At the same time, the Pannon Philharmonic by no means forgets about the elderly or people in need: many of their charitable initiatives are well-known, ranging from benefit concerts for Ukrainian refugees to EU cooperation projects specially devised for the residents of old people’s homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024 year, the Pannon Philharmonic celebrates its 20th NAME day and the success of a national and international-standard art workshop and brand. The ensemble, never making professional compromises, will reach another critical stage on its path in January 2024. Tibor Bog\u00e1nyi is taking farewell from his position as chief conductor and is succeeded by Gergely Kessely\u00e1k. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The orchestra has been awarded the internationally prestigious Le Grand Prix culturel de la Ville de P\u00e9cs<\/strong>, the Cultural Grand Prix of the City of P\u00e9cs<\/strong>, on P\u00e9cs City Day in September 2023.
