On May 23, the second international semi-final of the 10th anniversary season of Virtuosos will take place. In this episode, ten young talents from Hungary, Austria, Montenegro, and Slovenia will take the stage to compete for the remaining spots in the final. The contestants will be judged by a distinguished international jury, which includes world-renowned Kazakh artist Dimash Qudaibergen and legendary operatic tenor José Carreras.

Much attention is being paid to Dimash’s return as a jury member, as well as Carreras’ highly anticipated debut. In addition to participating in the jury, Carreras will deliver an exclusive performance with Concerto Budapest.

“In my opinion, the goal of every artist should be to convey emotions and feelings to the audience – that is the greatest thing they can do,” said José Carreras, sharing his perspective on evaluating young musicians.

The panel for the second semi-final includes: Dimash Qudaibergen, José Carreras, Albert Carreras, Wan Ino, Plácido Domingo Jr., István Várdai, István Kohán Jr., András Keller, and Csaba Káel.

Representing Hungary are pianists Noa Hendriks and Máté Paládi, who have already distinguished themselves as exceptional young talents.
