Opening Act

Varga Tivadar Trió

Opening act starts at 8:00 pm

Tivadar Varga, pianist and frontman of the band, has been playing music since the age of 5. He graduated from the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in 2018, where he was a student of Kálmán Oláh. The trio formed in 2018. Its members also graduated from the Academy of Music and have participated in several other ensembles. Besides jazz golden oldies, their repertoire also includes Tivadar Varga’s own songs, which inevitably leads us to Oscar Peterson, who had a great influence on Tivadar, both on the way he plays the piano and in terms of classic musical impacts. That being said, the trio is also no stranger to groove, drum and bass, and swing music. They lay great emphasis on collective improvisation. The trio have performed at many jazz festivals both in Hungary and abroad, with great success. They plan to finish their first album by 2022.

  • Tivadar Varga – piano
  • Ferenc Gayer – double bass
