Three things in my life are closely related to each other, almost interwoven: my family, my orchestral work and teaching. These three sources of joy give me a sense of completeness, making me feel balanced. Directing the Nagykovácsi Art School is just the icing on the cake. For me, it is always a pleasure to develop something new and unique, and it is an even greater experience to do so together with others. That’s why I love orchestral work and chamber music so much. MUSIC is what surrounds our lives.
