Miklós Lukács (HUN)

Between the strings and the silence lives Miklós Lukács, a musician who turns the cimbalom into a voice that speaks. His playing moves between the precision of György Kurtág and the freedom of improvisation – exact, glowing, and full of depth.

With Kurtág’s Márta’s Ligatura began a search: for sound as language, for discipline and mystery intertwined. Since then, Lukács has redrawn the instrument’s boundaries – part folk spirit, part spark of the avant-garde.
