The concerts were originally intended as a way for the tutors (who are all internationally renowned performers) and the course participants (mostly students of music or young professionals) to present themselves and their art to each other. The audience’s response has been great, the concert series has become an institution of its own and an important contribution to the music culture of this region.
Among other things, the courses allowed us to organise “fringe concerts” in the environs, — concerts that otherwise would not have been feasible because of the long journey of the performers (we have tutors coming from Chile, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic).

“V4” denotes the four Visegrad countries: Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
The median age is the middle value, where half the participants are older and the other half is younger. For asymmetric age distributions (like here), the median is a better measure of central tendency (“typical” age) than the average (the arithmetic mean).
