Clarinet player Csaba Klenyán was born in 1969 in Vác. At the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music he got acquainted with the music of György Kurtág, Péter Eötvös and Barnabás Dukay, which made a deep impact on his art and vision. Besides playing compositions of classicism and romanticism, he finds it highly important to perform contemporary pieces as well. His repertory includes more than 400 works. He is founding member of the new UMZE (New Hungarian Music Association). He has given concerts in nearly every European country (Le Mans, Bergen, Huddersfield etc.), and has won first prizes at numerous international competitions, among them in Arizona (1991) and Constanta (1993). He has been awarded with the ARTISJUS Prize (Prize of the Hungarian Bureau for the Protection of Authors' Rights) several times (last in 2022), and was granted Soros Fellowship for his outstanding work in contemporary music in 2002. In 2003 he received the Liszt Prize.
