Miklós Lukács

b. 1977, Törökszentmiklós, Hungary. Lukács researched music from early years as a child, including later on spells at Béla Bartók Conservatory and Ferenc Liszt Music University. He concentrated within the cimbalom, a hammered dulcimer, and got an abiding fascination with traditional musical forms from central European countries, notably those of Romany source. He shaped an connection to jazz, which he mixes easily with traditional music. His compositions add a concerto and divertimento, both for cimbalom and chamber orchestra, and Hazám (My Nation) for the Krétakör Theater. A liquid improviser and a expert from the cimbalom, Lukács spent some time working in jazz and traditional music with music artists such as for example drummer Elemer Balazs, pianists Jozsef Balazs, Gabor Cseke and Béla Szakcsi Lakatos, saxophonists Mihaly Borbely and Mihály Dresch, guitarist Gabor Juhasz, Kvartett B, vocalist Tony Lakatos, trumpeter Gerard Presencer, the Budapest Festival Orchestra and East Part Jazz Company.
