Having won several prizes at major international organ competitions since 2002, László Fassang has quickly established himself as a major young talent in the international organ world. He graduated from the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest and the Paris Conservatoire. In 2000, Fassang took a sabbatical year to become resident organist at the Sapporo Concert Hall (Japan).

Winner of the Gold Medal in Improvisation at the International Organ Competition in Calgary (2002), and winner of the Interpretation Prize in Chartres (2004), Fassang moves as freely and happily in the imagination of great composers as in his own. Open to every musical style, he also enjoys playing with jazz and folk musicians. He gives concerts around the world and teaches improvisation at the San Sebastian College of Music. He was responsible for supervising the construction of the organ of the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall (Budapest) and was appointed artistic consultant of the organ concerts of the Palace of Arts (Budapest) in 2006. In the same year he got the Liszt Ferenc Prize awarded by the Hungarian Ministry of Education and Culture and the Prima Prize awarded by the National Association of Entrepreneurs. In 2016 he named Artist of Merit of Hungary.
