Hungarian Music XChange: Albert Horváth
A talented composer as well as performer, the award-winning Hungarian pianist Albert Horváth is considered to be one of the leading musicians of his generation. While still a student he took first place in the group awards of the National Dezső Lakatos Ablakos Jazz Competition followed, in 2020, by the Hungarian Jazz Federation’s Young Jazz Musician of the Year Award. Most recently he was awarded a Special Jury Prize at this year’s MUPA Jazz Showcase. Accompanied by an exceptional UK rhythm section, 2022 BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year bassist Ewan Hastie and the award-winning drummer/bandleader Corrie Dick (Laura Jurd, Dinosaur, Rob Luft, Elliot Galvin....). This promises to be a wonderful night of impressive modern jazz piano playing.
The Concert this evening is dedicated to the memory of Peter Pallai: 1938 - 2025
