Béla Ágoston completed the singing and music major of the Janus Pannonius University of Sciences in 1992. He is an acknowledged folk and jazz musician, who has contributed to several recordings as a multi-instrumentalist. In his own projects and with the Dél-alföldi Saxophone Ensemble he plays primarily the alto and tenor saxophones and the bass clarinet. He plays traditional Hungarian and Jewish folk music as well as folk arrangements with the bands of Kati Szvorák (Kati Szvorák and the Stone Cutters) and Ferenc Kiss (Etnofon Music Association, Odessa Klezmer Band), where he uses the bagpipe, the clarinet and different recorders. At live performances he often adds tuva singing to the sonority. A recently discovered territory of his music is performing in solo and together with the band Budbudas. He made his debut release with his own Ágoston Trio in 1999.
