Ferenc Balogh

**Ferenc Balogh** is a Hungarian violinist known for his deep connection to chamber music and collaborations that highlight Central European classical traditions. Part of the musically gifted Balogh family—including siblings who are also accomplished musicians—Ferenc often performs and records with his brothers, pianist Ádám Balogh and cellist Csaba Balogh, forming a dynamic trio celebrated for their chemistry and precision. His work frequently explores Hungarian composers like Béla Bartók, whose *44 Duos for 2 Violins* he’s recorded, blending folk-inspired rhythms with classical rigor. Recent projects, such as Richard Rodney Bennett’s *Piano Sextet* and lively collections like *Hungarian Festival*, showcase his versatility and passion for bringing both iconic and lesser-known works to life. Whether onstage or in the studio, Ferenc’s playing radiates warmth and a commitment to keeping Hungary’s rich musical heritage fresh and vibrant.
