The artistry of Éva Polgár is characterized by clarity, conviction, and virtuosity. Critics praise her for her “intelligent interpretations” (Funzine Magazine), “emotional power” (New York Concert Review), and “vibrant technique” (American Hungarian Journal). Her dedication to her native Hungarian culture has resulted in researching Béla Bartók’s piano arrangements of his original orchestral compositions and specializing in Franz Liszt’s music. Polgár has won top prizes in competitions including the Los Angeles International Liszt Competition (LAILC). She has toured North and South America, Europe, and China and has been featured at Carnegie Hall in New York City, at the Leipzig Gewandhaus in Germany, and the Vigadó Concert Hall in Budapest, Hungary.
