Welcome, Gabor Csalog

A Hungarian pianist trained at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest (beginning at the age of 11) with postgraduate studies at Indiana University.  He later became an assistant to the great Gyorgy Sebok.

Csalog is winner of the Liszt Prize, the highest acknowledgment for classical music performers in Hungary.  Over his career, he has developed deep relationships with several Hungarian composers including contemporary Gyorgy Ligeti whose work will be included during his performance at a ‘house concert’ this coming Feb. 23rd at 3PM benefitting the Hudson Festival Orchestra.

Csalog has performed in the U.S. and in many European countries.  Formerly professor at the Bartok Conservatory (another composer whose work will be included), since 2001 he has been professor of chamber music at the Liszt Academy.  Among other achievements, the pianist is publisher of the complete piano works of Chopin at Konemann Musik Budapest.  Among his recordings are Chopin’s complete Mazurkas, Schubert’s piano works, and Ligeti’s and Liszt’s Etudes.

The concert, held at a private home in Hudson, will provide an intimate setting in comfortable chairs with refreshments and the opportunity to meet the performer.

Program includes:   Franz Liszt: Mephisto Waltz No. 4, Gyorgy Ligeti: Etude No. 10, Bela Bartok: Dance Suite (1923) and Robert Schumann: Dances of the League of David, Opus 6
