ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Born in Hungary and a graduate of the Budapest Liszt Academy of Music, Gergely Ittzés is one of the most proactive personalities of the flute scene. While being a researcher of his instrument and composer of numerous experimental flute works applying the most up-to-date flute techniques, he does not specialize in contemporary music only, but tries to connect it with tradition. His large repertoire includes all the important flute works and a great number of rarities.

Mr. Ittzés is flute professor at the Széchenyi University in Győr and editor of various flute publications composed or transcribed by himself or others. The American National Flute Association commissioned his pieces Totem for the Young Artist Competition held in Las Vegas, 2012. As the result of his research on the multiphonic capabilities of the flute he published the software Flouble in 2012. He holds his doctorate from the Franz Liszt Academy; his dissertation, written in 2008, is entitled “The Role of Polyphonic Thinking in Flute Playing.”
