Tamás Bácsi

His journey with the piano began at the age of 5 and just one year later he already won 3rd prize at the National Mozart Piano Competition in Budapest. At the age of 9, Thomas won the X. National Piano Competition alongside the Veroszta Magda Special Prize. Later that year he also got accepted to the Franz Liszt Academy of Music’s Special School for Exceptional Young Talents, where he began working with Zsuzsanna Eszto and Istvan Gulyas. Upon his arrival in Toronto, Edith Lantos – Teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Music – saw the potential in him and helped him start his career in Canada. He was a scholarship student at the Royal Conservatory of Music’s Young Artists’ Performance Academy (now called Taylor Academy of Music) learning from distinguished professors such as Marina Geringas, Dianne Werner-Simon & Jim Anagnoson. He won  competitions for piano solo, piano duo and own compositions. After finishing his Pre-school studies in Canada, Tamás moved back to Hungary to begin his undergraduate studies at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music with Istvan Gulyas and Nemethy Attila. He has entered international piano competitions with great success in countries like Austria and the Czech Republic. He finished his Undergraduate studies in Madrid at the Royal Conservatory (Real Conservatorio Superior de Musica de Madrid) with the mentorship of Mar Gutierrez & Ignacio Marin Bocanegra as a Scholarship student. He had the possibility to perform at numerous Concert halls in and around Madrid during that year. Tamás is currently finishing his Graduate studies this year at the Franz Liszt Academy.
