Gergely Sárközy's Solo Recital
This program is held in Hungarian.
An extraordinary sensation will open the House of Music’s autumn classical–contemporary concert season, as a legendary figure of Hungarian musical life, Gergely Sárközy, will give his first public performance here after an almost two-decade hiatus. On the occasion of this grand return, the artist, renowned for his incredible versatility, will showcase his classical guitar playing in arrangements of works by Frédéric Chopin and Robert Schumann. It is an honor for us that this event of such exceptional significance will take place at our venue, and we warmly recommend that our audience make sure to attend!
Gergely Sárközy is a musician of exceptionally wide-ranging knowledge: he is able to play numerous medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and contemporary plucked, bowed, wind, and keyboard instruments with great mastery. He began his musical studies at the age of four on the piano, then continued at eight on the cello. From 1971 to 1979 he was a student at the Academy of Music, where he first studied composition and ultimately obtained the institution’s very first viola da gamba diploma. It was there that he began playing the lute and guitar, and later became thoroughly acquainted with other early instruments as well (koboz, mandolin, bagpipe, etc.). For many years he was the lute and gamba soloist of the early music ensemble Camerata Hungarica, with whom he toured across Europe and gave 40–50 concerts a year in Hungary, too. He contributed to seven albums by the group Kaláka, also performed with the band Szélkiáltó, and founded his own ensemble, Fraternas Musicorum, with which he played medieval troubadour music as well as English songs and dances from the era of Henry VIII. In addition, he worked as a sound engineer and, in this capacity, received an Artisjus Award in 2006. Over the past twenty years he has been engaged, among other things, in DIY, instrument making, and music teaching.
