Our story
We met with Edda at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music and started our collaboration in September 2016 due to our passion to play music for cimbalom and clarinet written by György Kurtág. Studying with András Szalai, specialist in Kurtág’s music, we enjoyed working together and loved inspirations coming up in hours of practising together. Encouraged by a musical and personal affinity we decided to continue in studying original pieces for cimbalom and clarinet from 20th and 21st century. Since then we have created an unique concert progarm, based mostly on a very fresh pieces by the best contemporary composers from Hungary, Iceland and the Czech Republic and we would like to share their/our music with all of you.
