Hungarian Pianist Valentin Magyar to Open 225-226 Lenard Chamber Music Series at Jorgensen Center

Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts on the UConn Storrs campus will present Hungarian pianist Valentin Magyar, the first concert in the 2025-2026 Lenard Chamber Music Series, on Tuesday, September 23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are now on sale for this and all fall events at Jorgensen.UConn.edu.

Magyar,
 24 years old, has quickly gained recognition in the world of classical music. Despite his young age, he has performed in numerous competitions and won several awards including 
a gold medal at the 2023 Vienna International Music Competition.
 At the age of 14, he was admitted to 
the class of special talents at the prestigious Franz Liszt Music Academy, where he obtained his master’s degree in 2024 as student of Dénes Várjon and Gábor Farkas. Also in 2024, he made
 his debut in China with solo and orchestral concerts in Shanghai and Suzhou, and performed recitals in
 Brazil, Serbia, Romania, England and his native Hungary. His second CD featuring works of Liszt and Schubert
 will be released in 2025. The evening’s program will include works by Franck/Bauer,
 Schubert, and Liszt.
