The 2011 Conference of the Hungarian Studies Association took place at the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University between May 28-30, 2011.
Renowned Liszt scholar Alan Walker, FRSC (McMaster University), presents a lecture entitled “Franz Liszt: The cultural ambassador of the 19th century.” His lecture is followed at 8 pm by a piano recital of Liszt’s music entitled “Liszt the Voyager,” performed by Juno-award winning concert pianist Valerie Tryon.

This unique musical event marks International Liszt Year and the 200th anniversary of Franz Liszt’s birth, and is sponsored by the Hungarian Studies Association of Canada and the Canada-Hungary Educational Foundation, with support from the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, the University of New Brunswick, and St. Thomas University.
