Hungarian-born pianist Mihaly Gyorfi is a dynamic artist whose work spans performance, collaboration and outreach. His musicianship has been showcased through recordings with the Hungarian National Radio and performances at renowned venues, including St. James’ Church Piccadilly in London and Fazioli Hall in Sacile, Italy. His formative training began under Graham Fitch and continued at the prestigious Purcell School, where he was a grant recipient. Currently completing his Master of Music degree at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Mihaly studied with Tatiana Sarkissova and Mei-Ting Sun, supported by scholarship. A passionate collaborator, Mihaly co-founded the WindUp Ensemble, a multi-media music collective that explores intersections between music, visual arts and interactive digital art. The ensemble debuted at the inaugural Students Create Festival at the Royal Academy of Music. He also co-created a digitally enhanced performance-installation for the GameOmetry exhibition at Budapest’s Vasarely Museum of Art. Mihaly’s professional experience extends to accompanying dance, having worked with LAMDA and dancers form the Urdang Academy. He has been involved in arts administration with Waterperry Opera and at the annual VOCES8 Summer School at Milton Abbey, Dorset, where he will return for a third consecutive year in 2025. Additionally, Mihaly has organised numerous fundraising performances in support of charities including Shelter and Amnesty International. Mihaly’s repertoire interests so far centre on the Baroque and Classical periods, though he is equally committed to music of other eras. His postgraduate lecture recital at RAM explored the relationship between Hungarian speech-rhythms and Bartók’s piano sonata, reflecting his interest in linguistics. During lockdown, he taught himself German, which informed his postgraduate dissertation on the satirical songs of Weimar Berlin. Looking ahead, he plans to curate a concert series in 2025 celebrating Béla Bartók’s works in collaboration with fellow musicians, commemorating Bartók’s anniversary year.
