Életrajz

Krisztina Megyeri was born in 1974 in Budapest to a Hungarian mother and Russian father. She has studied prodigiously, starting out with piano and composition at the Béla Bartók Music Secondary School in Budapest with Mariann Ábrahám and Miklós Kocsár, later graduating from the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest with an MA in Composition as a pupil of Attila Bozay, János Vajda, and Zoltán Jeney. From 1999 until 2001, she attended the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Lyon, and following that went to the Conservatoire of Boulogne-Billancourt in Paris, where she graduated as a piano accompanist-vocal coach. Yet further study took her to the Université Paris-VIII Saint-Denis, where she undertook her MA in Musicology and Aesthetics, graduating in 2006; her Thesis was on Peter Eötvös’s opera Angels in America. She also holds a DMA in Composition (2013) from the Liszt Academy of Music on the dramaturgy of Peter Eötvös’s opera Love and Other Demons. A multi-award-winner, she has received numerous prizes, including: the Unesco-Aschberg (IMEB, Bourges) electroacoustic music prize and scholarship; 2nd Prize in the Zoltán Kodály Competition (1999); 1st Prize (2006) and 3rd Prize (2008) in the István Vántus Composer’s Competition; 1st Prize in the Simeonis International Composer’s Competition (2011). In addition, she has been the recipient of several major scholarships, including the French Government Scholarship (1999); the Hungarian Eötvös Scholarship (2005); the Fondation Natexis Banques Populaires (2005), and the Zoltán Kodály Scholarship (2007–2009). Her music has been commissioned and performed extensively throughout Europe and the United States, including at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris (Le jardin étranger, 2003), the Fondation Royaumont, by the Orchestre National de Lorraine (MétéoRites, 2005) the Ensemble SIC, Peter Eötvös, and has been recorded by the Radio France, SWR, and both Hungarian and Finnish Radios. Her first opera, Frühlings Erwachen (2018) and Nousnoyons-nous (2003) were recently premiered in Budapest. From 2002 until 2008, she worked as a teacher and piano accompanist in Paris, before moving back to Budapest. She is active as a composer, musicologist, and pianist, and continues to teach – primarily at Biatorbágy Music School – a position she has held since 2013.
