Gabriella Szabó

I am Gabriella Eszter Szabó, pianist, piano teacher, accompanist and composer. I have played the piano since the age of 8. I started my studies in the Ferenc Martyn music school in Pécs with Mária Apagyi.

I was fortunate to meet the secrets of improvisation and composing alongside the traditional piano pieces, and these have a significant effect on my musical career even today. As a result, I studied improvisation and creating my own pieces even further.

"I started my own band “Miegymás”, where we usually played my cross-over compositions in Hungary and abroad as well."

When I moved to Bergen in 2012, first I had some solo concerts and played in various formations as pianist and composer. Besides my professional life as musician I taught piano to different age groups, first in Pécs and Budapest, later at the jazz faculty of the János Kodolányi college and in the Cultural School of Bergen, Norway.
