The history of the Hungarian Symphony Orchestra, Miskolc

In May 2014 the Mayor of Miskolc appointed a new managing director of the orchestra, Krisztina Szászné Pónuzs. From 2018 the artistic director of the orchestra has been Mátyás Antal, holder of the Ferenc Liszt, Bartók-Pásztory and Prima prizes,, who has also been the artistic director of the Hungarian National Choir for decades.

The orchestra performs more than eighty concerts in each programme season as part of a subscription series and individual concerts.

The orchestra has two independent season tickets. The Szimfonikus (Symphonic) season ticket includes eight concerts, and the Yamaha season ticket includes three concerts. In addition, they also play for the Filharmónia Magyarország Nonprofit Kft. Season ticket.

The series of youth concerts also plays an important role in the activity of the orchestra. The vast majority of the traditional subscription performances were held at the House of Arts concert hall in Miskolc.

The orchestra often gives guest performances throughout the Hungary, in Budapest, and also on the stage of the more prestigious European concert halls; for example in the Paris Convention Centre, Nottingham, Athens, the Champs-Elysées Theater in Paris, Sisteron in the south of France, and Ravenna in Italy.

In the light of this it can be said that the Hungarian Symphony Orchestra, Miskolc is a growing cultural treasure of the city of Miskolc, and it receives steadily more recognition both in Hungary and abroad.
