Live Jazz in Budapest

The members of Symbiosis 5 met at the Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest and started working together in 2020. They have developed a repertoire of original compositions combining elements of modal and contemporary jazz. The ensemble performed on a major stage for the first time in 2021 at the Babel-Laureate World Jazz Competition, where they earned third place. Subsequently, in 2022, the ensemble gained recognition at international competitions abroad, winning first place at the Getxo International Jazz Competition and Festival and the Sibiu International Jazz Competition. They continue to collect prizes, for example, in January 2023 they not only won the Judge’s Award and the Audience Award at the Müpa Jazz Showcase, but also two special prizes. The group returns to the stage of Opus with a guest soloist, this time joined by cimbalom player Áron Horváth.
