Gábor Csalog was born in Budapest in 1960. When he was eleven, he was accepted to the Class of Specially Gifted Pupils at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music. Among his teachers were Erna Czövek, Dezső Ránki, Zoltán Kocsis, György Kurtág, Pál Kadosa and András Schiff. He was a postgraduate student of György Sebők at the Indiana University in the U.S.A., and assistant to Prof. Sebők for two years. He often plays contemporary music, maintaining direct working contact with several Hungarian composers, including László Sáry and Gyula Csapó. Besides giving concerts in many European countries, recording is increasingly important for him. From his extensive repertoire, he frequently includes pieces from lesser-heard composers in his programme.
