Hi, my name is Timea Acsai come from a family of musicians. 
Already during my studies, I played in several notable orchestras including, among others,

After receiving my bachelor’s degree with Prof. Lóránt Kovács at the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy in Budapest,

including the Berliner Philharmonie, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, the Kultur und Kongresszentrum in Luzern (KKL Luzern),

I have developed my flute playing at several masterclasses with well-known flutists, 
such as Emmanuel Pahud, András Adorján, Henrik Wiese, Gergely Ittzés and Dejan Gavric.
