The List of Liszts (a members-only event)

This Sunday, to mark the 200th birthday of the restless Abbé, the European Broadcasting Union will be putting on concerts and recitals from many of the cities he visited, from Dublin to Bucharest.

Like many multinational organisations, the EBU does not allow access to its website, thereby defeating the aim of multinational cooperation.

However, here’s one event I’ve heard about from Bucharest – and do feel free to add more:
