Internationale Gitarrenmatineen Düsseldorf - Prof. Franz Halász

In the organizer's words:

The German-American guitarist Franz Halász began working with important personalities from the world of music at an early stage. The famous Wagner tenor Siegfried Jerusalem, the cellist Boris Pergamenschikov, the flautist Patrick Gallois, the Greek legend Maria Farantouri and the violinist Isabelle Faust are among his many chamber music partners. They have taken him to the most important classical music venues such as the Philharmonie Berlin, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Cologne Philharmonie, the Shanghai Cultural Square and the Rio de Janeiro Opera.

At the same time, at the end of the 20th century, he began an extremely extensive and successful collaboration with major music labels. This year sees the release of his 25th CD on BIS-Records in Sweden with the complete works of Heitor Villa-Lobos for solo guitar.

When Franz Halász won first prize at the Certamen Andrés Segovia and the Seto Ohashi Competition in Japan in 1993, this was the starting signal for his extraordinary international artistic career. He has now been teaching at German music academies for 30 years and has held several professorships, including the current first chair for guitar at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich.
