About this user

"Robert Horvath is a musician who's superb technical skills allow him to explore music with exceptional insight while making it appear effortless.... His interpretations are quite personal ... clearly seeking the heart of the music ... A truly gifted pianist." -Glenn Morley, multi award-winning composer/music producer

Robert Horvath is a pianist gaining wide recognition in the province of Ontario. He is regularly booked for solo appearances with orchestras in Ontario. A popular soloist with the Cathedral Bluffs Symphony Orchestra, he performed Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor in May 2010; and in one evening, performed the single, double, triple, and quadruple keyboard concerti of JS Bach in a concert entitled "Back to Bach" in January 2009; and Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 in April 2008. He has also been a featured artist for the Willow Breast Cancer Support Canada "Eat to the Beat" event at Roy Thomson Hall in 2009, and was soloist for the York Chamber Ensemble's presentation of Gerald Finzi's Eclogue for Piano and Strings in April 2008.
Since 2007, Robert has been the collaborative pianist for the students of York University's music program and has given many solo recitals at Hamilton's First Unitarian Church since 2000.

Robert, who has been praised as "...a fine pianist with musical imagination and sensitivity" by McMaster Artist-in-Residence and internationally acclaimed pianist Valerie Tryon, will be featured as soloist in solo recital for The Caskey School of Music concert series with a program entitled "Chopin and Friends" in 2011 and with the Canadian Sinfonietta in 2011 November the 4th performing a special transcription of the Liszt`s Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 for piano and strings. Speaking of his recording of Bach's F-minor Piano Concerto, renowned vocal coach Elaine Overholt said, "His nuances are exquisite. His incredible technique allows Robert so much range with the dynamics, and his heart leads you to the magic."

In addition to his outstanding classical skills, Robert's versatility extends to the idioms of jazz and musical theatre. Robert has served as vocal coach, conductor, and pianist in musical productions, both in his native Hungary ("Musical World") and here in Canada ("First Time Players").

An important priority for Robert Horvath is music education. He is a deeply committed teacher and he founded the Horvath School of Music in 2002. He continues to enjoy teaching and making an impact on another person's life musically and personally. As well as his private teaching, for several years, Robert has been an assistant teacher for vocal coach Elaine Overholt at the Big Voice Studio in Toronto where he teaches classical piano, jazz (harmony), song writing and improvisation.

Robert was a grateful recipient of a Canada Council grant in 2008. Before coming to Canada he had received his Masters Degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from the prestigious Franz Liszt Academy of Music in his native Hungary, and before that, he studied at the Bela Bartok Conservatory of Music. His musical mentors include the great pianist and teacher, Laszlo Simon. In masterclasses Robert has played for Andras Schiff, Peter Frankl, and Tamas Vasary. His musical ancestry can actually be traced back to Franz Liszt. Robert studied with Kalman Drafi who studied with Pal Kadosa who was taught by Bela Bartok, a student of Istvan Thoman who studied with Franz Liszt.

Robert Horvath first made a splash at the age of 10 on Hungarian national radio when the Hungarian-Russian Piano Competition for Young Pianists was broadcast, featuring Robert as first prize winner.
