classical guitar
Gergely Szurgyi , born in Hungary in 1994, began playing the guitar at the age of 9. He studied with Ede Roth and András Csáki. After graduating from the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest in 2019, he studied for a master's degree at the Nuremberg University of Music and graduated with distinction in 2021. Gergely Szurgyi has been successful in numerous national and international competitions and has been playing a "Hanika Lattice-Meister" since the first year of his studies. In addition to solo playing, Gergely attaches great importance to chamber music. Together with friends, he founded the "Tritonus Guitar Trio" in 2014, which has had many successes since then. Their greatest success was winning the "Guitar Foundation of America Ensemble Competition" in Miami in 2019.
In his concert, Gergely Szurgyi will play selected works ranging from Renaissance dances to French chansons and Hungarian music. He uses the "scordatura", a change to the traditional tuning of his instrument. Based on this musical finesse, he undertakes an exciting experiment and plays almost every piece on the program in a different tuning.
