His orchestral experience came initially from student orchestras (Kodály-Bartók Youth World Orchestra, International Orchestra Institut Attergau), and later as an ancillary at the MÁV Symphony Orchestra, the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra and the Hungarian State Opera. He has played tutti in the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra’s double-bass section since 2013. He first contributed to a Budapest Festival Orchestra production in 2010, and has since become a regular.
