Biography

Welcome to my homepage! With this site, I want to promote the European cultural exchange.


The impulse for this website was brought by the internet about 10 years ago: I got to know the "Banchieri Singers", an A cappella-group from Nyiregyháza (East Hungary) and the "Szélkiáltó -Ensemble" from Pécs (South Hungary).
With those ensembles I started to arrange a lot of concerts in Hungary and Germany with great success.

In retrospective, after 10 years of arranging concerts, I can recline myself satisfied, because from the shyly experiment of arranging concerts, there was developed a successful job. Supported by the active help of my wife, we accomodated the artists at our house. So it was possible to house the world-famous Banchieri Singers here. Most of the concerts were managed by donations of the visitors. With these donations, and by the proceeds from the CD sales, the musicians´ incomes were satisfying, although not so many people are interested in classical music. But as you can see in the schedule at the Concerts site, there were also concerts with many visitors.
