EÖTVÖS PÉTER

Zeneszerző Kompozícióit világszerte játsszák.

Composer, conductor and teacher: the Hungarian Peter Eötvös combines all three functions in one very high-profile career. His music features regularly in the programmes of orchestras, contemporary music ensembles and festivals worldwide; and as composer/conductor he has led projects focusing on his work in centres such as Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Lisbon. His most recent operas, Le Balcon and Angels in America, are following the lead of his Three Sisters by generating an ever-increasing number of new productions; and several major music theatre commissions are due in the next few years. Equally important to Peter Eötvös are his teaching activities - especially his work at the Musikhochschule in Karlsruhe and at his own Contemporary Music Foundation for young conductors and composers in Budapest. Amonst the many honours he has been awarded are the Kossuth Prize, by the President of the Hungarian Republic in 2002 and the 'Commandeur de l`Ordre des Arts et des Lettres'.
