SUMMARY:TRIO AMICI
DESCRIPTION:Veronika Botos\, viola\nPéter Csongár\, clarinet\nMónika Rut
 h Vida\, piano\n\nIn a programme of W. A. Mozart: Kegelstatt trio KV 498 f
 or clarinet-viola-piano\, György Orbán: Sonata Grande for viola and pian
 o\, Béla Kovács: Hommage á Zoltán Kodály for clarinet solo and Max Br
 uch: 8 pieces Op. 83 for clarinet-viola-piano\n\nTrio Amici owes its form
 ation and name to one word: “friendship”. Péter Csongár and Veronika
  Botos have been friends for 20 years\, and they needed a good pianist to 
 play trios together. After meeting Mónika at a concert in 2018\, Veronika
  felt that she had found the right musical partner. They have built a repe
 rtoire together with music from Frescobaldi and Couperin\, to Classical an
 d Romantic\, to Contemporary music. They all think the same about music - 
 it must be hard work\, but with humility and mutual respect. They play oft
 en in Hungary but this is the first time they play in India as a trio.\n\n
 Veronika Botos studied violin for 6 years and later switched to viola beca
 use of its warm sound. She continued her studies at the Franz Liszt Academ
 y of Music between 1987 and 1993 under teachers like László Bársony\, S
 ándor Nagy\, György Kurtág and János Devich and also at the Menuhin Ac
 ademy in Gstaad. She was a founding member the newly formed Hungarian Virt
 uosi chamber orchestra  in 1989 and travelled with them all over the worl
 d. In 1992 she won the Pál Lukács Grand Prix Competition in Budapest and
  joined the Hungarian State Orchestra in 1993. In 1996 she became a violis
 t of the Hungarian State Opera and since 2008 holds the position of solo v
 iolist of the Opera company. She has toured with them all over the world\,
  also playing viola d’amore solos in special repertoire and in chamber m
 usic. She has had music specially composed for her by Paul Coleman and has
  been awarded the Hungarian Silver Cross of Merit for her exceptional cont
 ribution to Hungarian musical life. Veronika has a husband and three child
 ren.\n\nPéter Csongár was interested in the clarinet as an instrument fr
 om an early age. Between 1984 and 1988\, he studied at the Béla Bartók c
 onservatoire with Sándor Kiss and continued his studies at the Faculty of
  Music of the University of Debrecen between 1988 and 1992. Thereafter\, h
 e went to the Royal Flemish Conservatory in Antwerp to learn clarinet from
  Walther Boeynkens and bass clarinet from Jan Guns\, which led him to Osak
 a for his first solo concert in 1996. Since 1999\, he is a lead clarinet p
 layer with the Hungarian State Opera. He lives in Budapest with his wife a
 nd two children.\n\nMónika Ruth Vida has a special talent as a pianist. F
 rom her early childhood she wanted to become a musician. She was 14 years 
 old\, when she won her first international piano competition in Serbia. Am
 ong her many achievements is her performance in Shanghai at the World Exhi
 bition and an award from the Italian Parliament for her musical work. She 
 has successfully participated in several piano competitions\, including be
