Ádám Fischer's career as a conductor, which began more than half a century ago, is linked to his homeland in many ways: the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Hungarian State Opera, Müpa Budapest and the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra are all important chapters in his work. Even by 1973, however, his victory at the Guido Cantelli Competition had made it clear that his activities would be international in scope, which has since been confirmed by achievements like the nearly two decades of worldwide success of the Budapest Wagner Days series. He will celebrate his 75th birthday with works by Haydn, Richard Strauss and Wagner, joined by his beloved Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Choir and two outstanding singers: Magdalena Anna Hofmann and Atala Schöck.
