Judit Csatószegi grew up in Budapest in Hungary, where she had her music education first in the famous State Music School of Budapest, and thereafter in the Bartók Conservatory and the Liszt Academy. In 1993 she also graduated with highest grades from the cello solo class in the Music Academy of Colone/Aachen, where she studied with prof. Hans-Christian Schweiker. During her studying years she won the second prize in the national Hungarian Antal Friss competition, and participated in numerous master classes, with among others János Starker and Anner Bylsma. She studied chamber music with the members of the Amadeus Sting Quartet and chamber music still plays a major role in her professional life, alongside  teaching. She performs in a permanent duo with Fredrik Ullén, and they have received warm praise for their many recitals in Sweden and abroad, both by audience and critics. Her repertoire ranges from early baroque to contemporary music, and she performs  numerous solo works for the cello, such as the Ligeti Solo Sonata and the suites by Bach and Britten. Her strong interest in teaching and the inspiring environment at her school Lilla Akademien in Stockholm give great possibilities for intense pedagogical work.

During the season 2005/2006 we present two different programs. The first starts with a mosaic formed by the movements of Bach's d minor cello suite and brief piano comments from György Kurtág's "Games": a dialogue between cello and piano, and between Bach and Kurtág, attempting to shed new light on both. We thereafter continue with the first Brahms sonata. The ascending minor triad, forming the starting point for both the Bach suite and the Brahms sonata gives a thematic unity to the first half of the concert. We then end the program, after the intermission, with César Franck's wonderful A major sonata.
