Eva Barta is a versatile pianist. She plays recitals, works at various theaters as a stage musician, but also loves solo piano literature and gives piano recitals. The pianist of Hungarian origin was born in Transylvania (Romania) and came to Germany at the age of three. From the age of eleven she had lessons with Konrad Meister from the Hanover University of Music, Theater and Media and then studied at the
Hamburg University of Music and Theater with Evgenij Koroliov.
While studying at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki with Ilmo Ranta, she discovered her love of song - the connection between sound and word, which creates a new scenic level in music
- and then studied song design, first at the University of Music Karlsruhe with Anne le Bozec and Hartmut Höll, and later again at the Hamburg University of Music and Theater with Burkhard Kehring, where she completed her master's degree in song design with top marks.
She attended master classes with Helmut Deutsch, Julius Drake and Elly Ameling, Rudolf Jansen, Jorma Hyninnen, Ralf Gothoni and Axel Bauni, among others, won a Lions Music Prize, an accompanist prize at the Maritim Singing Competition and the Joseph Suder Song Competition and was a Yehudi Menuhin scholarship holder "Live-Music-Now" Foundation, the Hermann and Milena Ebel Foundation and the Richard Wagner Association.
At the age of 18, she made her debut with the Ravel Piano Concerto in G major and the Elbe-Weser International Youth Orchestra, with whom she played several concerts in Germany and Romania.
Later solo and song concerts took her to festivals in Poland and Romania, for example at the Filarmonica de Stat Targu Mures.
Since her studies she has been working with singers, for example she played the Schöne Müllerin with the tenor Daniel Behle in Bad Wörishofen. She also played recitals in the Laeiszhalle and the Kunsthalle Hamburg. She works at the Thalia Theater Hamburg and the Hamburg Chamber Opera as a stage musician, musical director and pianist in the ensemble. Guest performances with the Thalia Theater and with the cabaret artist “Alfons” took her to the Grand Théâtre de la Ville de Luxembourg, the Mannheim Mozart Summer and the Pantheon Theater Bonn, among others. She gives solo concerts with her program “Nacht”, which will be released in 2024 on the GENUIN Classics label.
