He cannot pick a favourite composition since he has many favourites.
A lot of people asked me: Why trombone? Well I was about 8-9 years old when in Hajdúszoboszló there was a wedding in the neighbourhood, and in the street a wedding orchestra showed up in which though not a trombone, a helicon was the bass. At this moment I realized what kind of instrument I wanted to play.
“I love playing in BDO because of the versatile, colourful repertoire, and because the orchestra is open to play other genres besides classical music. What I miss, after all, might sound weird because it’s also related to the repertoire. (It’s true not only for the BDO but for other symphony orchestras as well) It seems to me that classical concert programme (such as overture, concerto, symphony) is dying out.”

‘I’m happy to be part of this outstanding orchestra. I believe – as I’m sure many others do here – that I work in one of the orchestras with the best vibes in Hungary.
Upon our 25th anniversary in 2018 I wish Dohnányi Orchestra at least another 100 years which I hope we and our successors will be able to play through with no financial difficulties at all. And for the world and the global management of Planet Earth I wish that they start to tune in classical music as soon as possible, cease all plans of war immediately and enjoy the wonderful soul-healing power of music.
And last but not least I wish that my teeth stay in good shape (a healthy set of teeth is a must for a trombone player), so that I can participate in the orchestra’s 68th season opening concert with the same vigour and delight as I play now.’

The programme is always colourful and versatile here; we never ever get bored for a minute!’

„The orchestra’s work is characterized by a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and high quality. The programme of our concert is mixed including a lot of genres. It’s a great pleasure for the orchestra but also for the audience, proved by the fact that most of our concert is sold-out. It’s wonderful to play, to give something to many people.
I joined the orchestra in 2002, since then we have come a long way in which Gábor Hollerung played a great part. I wish ourselves to keep playing together and having success for many years!”
