Bálint Kovács
About
Bálint Kovács is a Hungarian recorder player, baroque bassoonist, music educator, and versatile performer. His playing is fundamentally characterised by lightness and virtuosity, which shine through in all aspects of his artistic activity. His artistic excellence is reflected in international competition successes, including first prize at the International Recorder Competition in Tel Aviv in 2022, in the category for professional soloists. His joyful and experimental approach to music is evident in both his artistic work and his teaching. In addition to his work as a performer of various musical styles, he is a highly organised individual with a strong interest in the analytical aspects of music and pedagogy.
His studies at reowned institutions such as the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the Mozarteum University Salzburg have provided him with a deep understanding of instrumental techniques and both historical and contemporary performance practices.
He performs as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral member – both on the recorder and the baroque bassoon. His pedagogical work includes training professional recorder players at the Freiburg University of Music, as well as educating future recorder teachers at the Upper Austrian State Music School System.
His projects complement each other in terms of instrumentation, function and repertoire – ranging from early Baroque to contemporary and self-composed music.
