In addition to the great cathedrals of Hungary and Müpa, audiences can hear him as a contributor to the musical series of the Chapel Royal at Versailles, at Chartres Cathedral and the great concert halls of Japan. He studied at the Academy of Music, then at the Paris Conservatoire, and is currently a doctoral student at the Academy of Music. In 2020 his first disc was released with orchestral symphony versions, including his organ versions of Bartok’s Dance Suite.
