Violinist
Péter Mező
Founding member of the Accord Quartet, concertmaster of the Danubia Orchestra and member of the Danish Chamber Orchestra.
My story
Playing in a string quartet was my first deliberate choice as a musician. We founded the Accord Quartet in 2001, and I have played with the same three colleagues ever since.
With the Danubia Orchestra, I took part in Péter Eötvös’s international conducting courses over many years. I also worked on the preparation and Hungarian premiere of György Kurtág’s opera Fin de partie. Read about our rehearsals together and Kurtág’s letter in my biography ↗
Through Közös Hang, we prepare concerts together with young instrumentalists from the Máltai Szimfónia music education programme. I am also a trustee of the Út a Zenéhez Foundation.
