About Cadenza
Hungarian music.
International stages.
Real connections.
Founded in Budapest in 2017, Cadenza Arts Management represents soloists and orchestras, organises concerts and tours internationally, and leads European cultural cooperation projects. Our mission is to bring Hungarian music and musicians to international stages, and to bring outstanding international artists to Hungarian audiences.
A note from the Managing Director
After seven years as orchestra manager of the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, I founded Cadenza with three things in mind. I wanted to take Hungarian artists and Hungarian music beyond our borders. I wanted to create real connections between Hungarian and international musicians, because the most exciting things happen when they meet and work together. And I wanted audiences to experience concerts of the highest quality. These three goals still guide every project we take on.
— Eszter Pista, Managing Director
Managing Director
Cadenza is a bridge between Hungarian and international musical life, connecting artists, institutions and audiences through music of the highest quality.
Personal, long-term,
built on trust.
We work with a select group of artists and get to know their music, their goals and their way of working. That allows us to find the right stages, the right partners and the right moments, rather than simply filling dates in a calendar.
Our network reaches concert halls, festivals, orchestras and cultural institutions across Europe. Through international projects and collaborations, we bring musicians together across borders, creating partnerships that last well beyond a single concert.
