Life
Barnabas Szilagyi is a multi-instrumentalist composer from Hungary. He was born in 1980 as the youngest member of a music instrument making family. Growing up in Eastern-Europe, he was exposed to a wide variety of cultures and music, from the miraculous sound of throat singing, to the invigorating melodies of the Balkanian folk songs. He started to play the piano at the age of 6 and violin at 7. In 1998, Barnabas founded “Navrang”, a band combining rare and interesting musical instruments from Arabia, India, the Balkans and Hungary with contemporary style and theory. In the last several years, Barnabas has toured all across Europe with his band and written music for TV series under his studio’s name, Namaste Production. In 2006, he moved to New York City, where he studied composition at the Juilliard Music School in Conrad Cummings’ class and interned at the American Composers Orchestra. He started to make his debut in the american concert halls in 2007 with his work, “Sirocco”. He currently works in NYC.
