Pannon Portrait
A graduate violist and music educator who combines his classical training with the musical tradition inherited from his family. Alongside his experience with symphony orchestras, he is committed as an educator to passing musical knowledge and values on to the next generation.
Career
László Berki is a graduate violist and music educator whose artistic career brings together classical musical training and the tradition of Hungarian Roma music deeply rooted in his family.
He studied at the Béla Bartók Secondary School of Music and subsequently at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. He is currently completing the final year of his teacher training at Széchenyi István University, further developing the educational dimension of his musical career.
Throughout his orchestral career, he has worked with ensembles including Danubia, Alba Regia, and the symphony orchestras of Szolnok and Szeged. Alongside his work as a performing musician, he has also gained teaching experience as a violin teacher. Supporting young talent and passing on musical knowledge are therefore just as important to him as performing on stage.
In his artistic approach, classical music and the rich tradition of Hungarian Roma music are closely connected. As part of his family heritage, he considers the preservation and transmission of this musical tradition and its values an important mission. For him, classical musical training and a tradition passed down through generations are not separate worlds, but two sources of inspiration that mutually enrich his musicianship.
As both a performing artist and an educator, his aim is to pass on his knowledge, experience and love of music to the next generation.

Something Few People Know About Me
Classical music and the tradition of Hungarian Roma music are not separate worlds for me. Both shape my musical thinking, and I believe they enrich one another.
