“[Fejérvári]evidenced dazzling technique that can rank with the best piano virtuosi and his interpretive instincts were consistently revelatory. He imbued even the most overt display pieces with subtlety and aristocratic insight.”
–South Florida Classical Review
Zoltán Fejérvári has emerged as one of the most intriguing pianists among the newest generation of Hungarian musicians. The winner of the 2017 Concours Musical International de Montréal and recipient of the prestigious Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2016, he has appeared in recitals at prestigious venues throughout the Americas and Europe, performing as a soloist and collaborating with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors.
Zoltán performs chamber music, solo, and orchestral repertoire spanning five centuries. He has appeared at many well-known music festivals, including the Gilmore Keyboard Festival Rising Stars series, and the Marlboro Music Festival. Sir András Schiff, a longtime mentor chose Zoltán to participate in Building Bridges, a series established to highlight young pianists of unusual promise. Under this aegis, he gave recitals in Berlin, Bochum, Brussels, Zurich, and Ittingen—among other cities.
His 2019 solo recording debut, Janáček, earned rave reviews as “the most sensitive and deeply probative recording” of that composer’s work (Gramophone). Gramophone also praised his 2020 release of Schumann, noting, “Fejérvári is a deeply communicative artist who combines an imperturbable yet magisterial command of his instrument with impeccable musicality. Those who have yet to hear him are in for a rare treat.”
Zoltán currently holds a professorship at the Hochschule für Musik FHNW, Musik Akademie Basel in Basel, Switzerland, where he teaches piano and chamber music classes.
