Onstage & in the office

Onstage or in the office: people who work in the music industry usually decide on one or the other, however Boglárka Pecze is an exception to the rule. Born in Hungary, Pecze is an internationally sought after clarinettist who has been working at the forefront of the contemporary art music scene for many years.

“I’m a free spirit,” admits Pecze, having also found her calling as a cultural manager. She is not attracted to accumulating the greatest possible concentration of concerts but to having a variety of tasks and perspectives.

On her instrument, Boglárka Pecze has proven herself in becoming one of the most exciting young virtuosi. She has performed at prestigious venues and festivals throughout Europe, Asia and the USA, including the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), the Salzburg Festival and the Shanghai International Music Festival.

»From the very beginning I was interested in how the classical music industry works,” says Pecze, “and I love the challenge of persuasion«
