Boglárka Pecze

The internationally sought-after clarinetist and passionate cultural manager Boglárka Pecze has found her calling both in front of and behind the stage. In recent years, the Hungarian has become known as one of the most exciting young virtuosos on her instrument.

She performs at renowned venues and festivals throughout Europe, Asia, and the USA, including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Salzburg Festival, and the Shanghai International Music Festival. Particularly in the field of new music, Boglárka Pecze has proven herself among the leading international artists with her “brilliant intensity” (Neue Zeitschrift für Musik) and her expressiveness reaching “to the existential limits” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). As a founding member of the award-winning Trio Catch, she has worked with composers such as Helmut Lachenmann, Isabel Mundry, and Georges Aperghis, performed as a Rising Star in Europe’s major concert halls, and received awards such as the German Record Critics’ Award and the Berenberg Culture Prize.

Boglárka Pecze also demonstrates the same passion behind the scenes: as a cultural manager, she negotiates fees, calculates cost breakdowns, and serves on competition juries. She currently works as managing director for Ensemble Recherche.
