Iván Fischer is the Music Director and a founder of the Budapest Festival Orchestra, while also fulfilling the role of Music Director at Berlin's Konzerthaus and Konzerthausorchester. His thirty-year-long partnership with the Budapest Festival Orchestra is one of the greatest success stories on the classical music scene.
