Ildikó Szabó – cellist
- In 2007, János Starker described her then 14 years-old compatriot, as “an exceptionally gifted young cellist” with the potential for an international career. Since then, Ildikó Szabó has lived up to this claim, the Hungarian cellist has won prizes at 16 international competitions, including the Pablo Casals Cello Competition in 2014 at which she won a total of eight prizes.
“A true artist who enjoys being on stage and manages to perform to the absolute best of her capabilities in front of an audience” says Iván Fischer with whom she has collaborated with on multiple occasions as a soloist with the Budapest Festival Orchestra. She has also appeared with orchestras including Concerto Budapest, the Hungarian Radio Orchestra, the Magdeburgische Philharmonie, the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and performed with conductors including Michael Sanderling, Luciano di Martino, Zsolt Hamar, and Leo McFall.
