I graduated from the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. I was a member of the Orchestra of the Hungarian State Opera from 1992 until 1994 and then spent a year with the Budapest Concert Orchestra. For the next twelve years I was principal oboe of the Hungarian Radio Orchestra and I also played with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra - Dublin, and the Solistes Européens, Luxembourg.

Since 2007 I have been associate principal oboe in the Orquestra Nacional do Porto (Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa Da Musica), also play with Solistes Européens, Luxembourg (SEL) and I have given masterclasses.
