The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

Luka Okros (piano)

Luka Okros, the Georgian artist currently resident in London, is considered by many to be one of the most promising pianists of his generation. Critics have remarked that “his play is intensive, powerful and natural, alloyed with astonishing creativity”. He has built an international reputation for his passionate and gripping performances. He has won a total of eight first prizes at the most prestigious international piano competitions and during the course of his career he has given concerts in over 40 countries. Following hugely successful concerts in 2018 and 2019, his European tour in 2020 sees him return to the Solti Hall, where he performs much loved pieces by Beethoven, Chopin and Schumann. As well as pursuing a career as concert pianist, he also engages in composition and plans to release an album of his own pieces shortly.
