St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest is one of the most significant and most spectacular of
religious and tourist attractions. The reasons behind it is the respect for its titular ordained
king, the country’s state founder, and the artistic value of the building itself.
The church is the third highest buildings in the country, and one of the two tallest in the city with its 96 meters.
The construction of the church started in 1851, under the guidance of one of the greatest
Hungarian architects, Miklós Ybl, and it was completed by József Klauser in 1905. In the next
50 years the cathedral suffered from wars, storms and earthquakes. The final reconstructions
lasted from 1983 to 2003.
The concert is lead by the incredibly talented Milkós Teleki, who is regarded as one of the
best organ artists in the country. The arias of the program are performed by Kolos Kováts,
one of the most famous concert and oratorio singers in Hungary. He received the Kossuth
Prize in 1992, which is the highest prize for any artist in the country. Our flute artist is
Eleonóra Krusic, who is famous for her performances with different noted orchestras, from
Barcelona to Zürich, Graz and Vienna.
The St. Stephen’s Basilica is one of the most beautiful neo-classical buildings of Budapest.
