Életrajz

László Tihanyi attended the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, where he studied com position with Rezső Sugár and conducting with András Kórodi. Since 1979, he has been a professor at the Academy, where he was also vice-rector from 2000 until 2005. He regularly conducts both in Hungary and abroad, and typically focuses on 20th century classical and contemporary works. In 1991, he participated in the production of Maderna’s Hyperion at the Festival d’Automne in Paris and continued to do so on subsequent European tours. In 1985, he founded his own instrumental Ensemble, the Intermodulation – dedicated to 20th and 21-st century music – and has been its artistic director ever since. He is the winner of numerous awards, including the Erkel Prize and the Bartók–Pásztory Award. Besides being composer-inresidence for the Intermodulation Ensemble, his works are performed all over Europe: Hungarian Radio commissioned Irrlichtspiel for violin and ensemble, and in 1998 two Swiss foundations, Pro Helvetia and the Zuger Kulturstiftung Landis & Gyr commissioned Matrix for four hands. Atte was premiered in 1999 in Berlin by the UMZE Ensemble, with soloists Csaba Klenyán (clarinet) and György Déri (cello). In 2002, Musikfabrik premiered Kosmos, and several further commissions followed, one of which was the 20 Night Meditations for 8 Soloists and Orchestra with Double Strings, which had its American premiere in February 2007 at The Juilliard School, New York in 1991. In 1992, Summer Music was dedicated to the Ensemble Contrechamps – and was also premiered by them – and remains one of their most performed chamber works of his. In 1994, Radio France commissioned L’Épitaph du Soldat (a short sequel to Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale). He was also commissioned by the French State, as well as Opera de Bordeaux, to write his first opera Genitrix, which was based on the novel by Francois Mauriac; it received its premiere on the 25th of November 2007 in Bordeaux.
