Born: 16th March 1954, Budapest.

Composer, music teacher.

He studied composition with Miklós Kocsár in Béla Bartók Secondary School for Music (1973-1977). Later on, between 1977 and 1982, he was a pupil of Rezső Sugár and Emil Petrovics at Ferenc Liszt Academy. In 1982 he graduated as composer and teacher of composing.

After graduation he became a member of the Group of Young Composers within the Association of Musicians and he regularly participated at the concerts of the association. In 1982 his String-quartet won a prize at the international composers’ contest of the Budapest Spring Festival. Next year his Wind-quintet No. 2. was prize-winner at the same contest. In 1982 he worked as editor at the Zeneműkiadó.

His educational activity is continuous since he graduated. For three years he had been teaching music theory and solfeggio at the wind-conductor department of the Conservatory. Simultaneously he started to teach in Béla Bartók Secondary School for Music, where he is still responsible for subjects related to composing – music theory, style practice, counterpoint, instrument studies and score reading.

Through 1991-1992 he taught instrumentation at the composing department of the Ferenc Liszt Academy. In 1998 he taught music theory, score reading and instrument studies at the choral-conducting department of the Academy’s Teacher Training Institution. Since 1999 he has been teaching music theory, score reading, counterpoint and composing as professor of the Béla Bartók Music Institution, University of Miskolc.

In 1996 he was invited to the International Choral Festival of Cork (Ireland), where his composition – requested especially for this occasion – was presented within the frames of a seminar. As a member of the jury and as invited composer he also takes part in the activity of the International Béla Bartók Choir Contest of Debrecen for a long time. Besides, he is a member of the Art Board of this contest. His works are often performed at various Hungarian and foreign music events, as well as in the programme of the Hungarian Radio. Around fifty of his works have been published by Hungarian and Finnish label companies so far. A number of his compositions were recorded at the Hungarian Radio, while his works are on a dozen of anthology albums to find. His full composer albums were released in 1986 and 2003.

For his composition activity he received the Ferenc Erkel Prize in 1986 and the Bartók-Pásztory Prize in 1996. In 2020 he was given the title Merited Artist.
