The 1st Contemporary Chamber Music Festival was created by the Aladár Tóth Music School to promote contemporary music in music education as an inspiration to students and composers alike. Founded in 1903, the Aladár Tóth Music School was the first institution in Hungary to offer basic music education as part of the school system. The school's core philosophy is to give students the lifelong joy of music even if they choose not to have a professional career. The gala concert will feature young players selected by the jury of the 1st Contemporary Chamber Music Festival.
