Életrajz

László Sándor was born in Budapest in 1975. He studied violin teaching and chamber music at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, graduating in 1998. During his early student years, he was a self-taught composer, and one of the founders of the Danubia Youth Symphony Orchestra (later Danubia Symphony Orchestra), where he worked as a violinist and artistic adviser. He arranged numerous chamber concerts with the participation of the orchestra’s musicians, until transferring to the Academy’s composition class in 2012. His teacher in the subject was Zoltán Jeney. In 2021, he graduated with summa cum laude a DLA Doctoral degree, which he undertook at the Liszt Academy of Music under the supervision of János Bali. His area of research was that of 15th-century music, specifically the motets of Dufay. He has won numerous prizes in both Hungarian and international composition competitions. A multi-award-winner at the New Hungarian Composition Forum in Budapest (UMZF) from 2011 to 2017, he was also among the prize-winners at the 62nd International Rostrum of Composers in Tallinn with his orchestral piece Et transfiguratus est performed by the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. He often gives lectures on medieval music at the Budapest Music Center Library, as well as lecturing part-time at the Péter Pázmány Catholic University of Budapest. Additionally, he is a frequent participant in Hungarian contemporary music events, often giving dedicated concerts. In 2019, he was a New National Excellence Program Scholarship recipient. His music focuses on the spiritual aspects of composition, and he frequently uses liturgical materials and plainchant melodies and incorporates medieval techniques into his compositional methods. He has been a member of the Hungarian Composers’ Union since 2006. S
