The University of Pécs is the oldest university in Hungary (having celebrated its 600th anniversary last year) and is nestled within the wine-producing region of southwest Hungary. Pécs and Charlottesville share many noteworthy characteristics, including being college towns rich in history, being a focal point for the arts, having charming pedestrian malls and laying claim to UNESCO world heritage sites.

Our hope is that these concerts will be the first of many such collaborations between our institutions.  This project is being supported by the McIntire Department of Music, the Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts and the Institute for Musical Arts at the University of Pécs.

Historic Brooks Hall is on University Avenue adjacent to University of Virginia’s Rotunda and directly across the street from St. Paul’s Memorial Church and the Bank of America.

Parking is on the street or in one of the many parking lots & garages on "the Corner" across from Brooks Hall in lots on Elliewood Avenue, University Avenue, Fourteenth Street, and Wertland Street.
