Andrea Derdak

I was born in Makó (Hungary) where I started to learn to play the cello when I was 7 years old. After the primary school I went to Szeged to learn in secondary music shool and I gained my degree here in 2008. I graduated on teacher's master's degree program in 2011.During the years of secondary school and college I took part in cello courses and I played in the school symphony orchestra. Chamber music was always the part of my life. We won award on chamber music competition in Debrecen. In 2006 I also played in the Jeunesses Musicales International Orchestra in Switzerland. I taught from 2005 to 2012 in my home town as a cello teacher and we did lot of performance with the Symphony Orchestra of Makó.I had the opportunity to work with the Szeged Symphony Orchestra and the Weiner Chamber Orchestra as well. In 2011 and 2012 I worked on the Queen Elizabeth ocean liner (Cunard) with a string quartett. From 2012 November I have been living in London and we established a string quartett called Konvalia Quartett. We have worked together with John Landor and played Shostakovich quartet no.8 under his leading and project Music-in-Motion. I also play with the I Maestri and the Notting Hill Orchestra for Film Music.
