About the Artist

Zoltán Fejérvári (piano)

Zoltán Fejérvári has emerged as one of the most intriguing pianists among the newest generation of Hungarian musicians. Winner of the 2017 Concours Musical International de Montréal and recipient of the prestigious Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2016, Fejérvári has given recitals at the most renowned venues in Europe and the Americas. He has performed as a soloist with Hungary’s top orchestras, and has collaborated with many of the world’s leading conductors. Fejérvári’s solo recording debut, Janáček, released in January 2019, earned rave reviews as “the most sensitive and deeply probative recording” of that composer’s work (Gramophone).

Continuing to perform chamber music, recital, and orchestral repertoire spanning five centuries, Fejérvári begins the 2019-2020 season at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, and makes his Washington Performing Arts recital debut in November.

As a chamber musician, Fejérvári performs with the Elias Quartet presented by the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and with violinist Diana Tishchenko at the Easter Festival in Aix-en-Provence.
