Biography Barnabás Kelemen & János Balázs

Barnabás Kelemen & János Balázs

Barnabás Kelemen
has established himself as one of the leading and most versatile artist of his generation.

An artist of “innate musicality” with a technical execution that belongs “only to the greatest” (The Guardian) “…a penchant for fiery display and a lyricism suited to the stage, Barnabás Kelemen Hungarian soloist met the composer’s demands unflappably, stirring a rousing ovation” as the soloist of the American Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium. (New York Times)

János Balázs
“If you have heard János Balázs perform, you must have experienced a compelling and completely unique concert. He renders a 21st-century interpretation of classical music with spell-binding and superior technic and has a singular knack for capturing the audience. By doing so, he blurs the distance between the performer and his listener. His thematically unparallelled concerts and programme repertoire reach out to crowds – also the younger generations-, which he undertakes solely for the popularisation of classical music.”

He is keen to demonstrate his improvisation skills in various areas beyond the classical stage, such as jazz, world music, or folk music, which is always imbued with classical music’s values and the 20th-century tradition of improvisation.
