Denis Bouriakov returns to Budapest after many years by the invitation of the Budapest Flute Academy. Bouriakov has been Principal flute of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 2015 and, before that, was Principal flute of the Metropolitan Opera from 2009. Denis has in recent years established himself as one of the most active and sought after soloists in the flute world. He has won prizes in many of the most important international competitions, including the Munich ARD, Jean-Pierre Rampal, the Prague Spring, the Carl Nielsen, and the Kobe competitions, to name a few. Bouriakov looks outside the standard flute repertoire for works that allow the flute to shine. In addition to having a phenomenal virtuoso technique and musicianship, he is continually transcribing and performing violin concertos and sonatas, expanding the limits of flute technique and artistry.

The ensemble, whose concertmaster is Péter Tfirst since 2016, keeps performing in the most important concert halls around the world accompanied by first-class soloists year after year, who love to work with the orchestra due to its high degree of precision, genre versatility and adaptability. From the year 2020, István Várdai manages the tasks of professional training and those related to the creation of an artistic concept as an Artistic Director.
