The academy is hosting students for the fourth year. Its founder, the Hungarian pianist Ádám György, said locals had been extremely generous with their support from the onset and interest in the academy had only grown.
 
György will play at the academy?s opening concert on July 23. The academy?s students will perform at the closing concert on August 1, but György will also take the stage with songs, his own improvisations and works by Liszt.
 
György will start a world tour after the academy winds up. The tour will finish in Budapest on New Year?s.
 
György started studying at the Bartók Béla Conservatory when he was twelve years old. After winning several prizes in Hungary and abroad, he was invited to the Steinway Artist community in 2005. He debuted in Carnegie Hall, to a full house, in 2008.
