Richárd Sólyom has been the Musical Director of the Gabrieli Choir since he refounded it in the early summer of 2005. Widely versed in British musical culture, Richárd is passionately enthusiastic about introducing Hungarian singers to this “wonderful, untapped repertoire,” and is delighted by the interest and commitment his members have shown thus far. He is equally excited about the challenge of devising ambitious concert programmes and performing them in front of growing audiences in some of Budapest’s most beautiful churches.

The Gabrieli Choir is a Budapest-based amateur chamber choir specializing in the study and performance of sacred music drawn from the repertoire of Anglican Cathedrals. It has been led by its present Musical Director, Richárd Sólyom, since he re-formed it in 2005. Currently, the Choir comprises around twenty-four experienced singers, who together possess a wide variety of musical backgrounds. Many are professional musicians or music students; others simply enjoy learning and performing new music in a chamber choir environment in their spare time.
