.: SILARD SOMORJAY :. CONCERT PIANIST

SILARD was born in Budapest, Hungary into a musical family. He started playing the piano at the age of six, taught by his grandmother who was also a famous piano artist. By the time he was 14 he was composing his own music. He continued his music studies and nearly ten years later graduated from the Russian Academy of Piano in 1989. He's a composer and performer and has and continues to tour and give concerts all around the globe including Europe, Asia and the U.S.

What makes Silard's music so unique, is his ability to combine so exquisitely, Classical Music and Jazz. His music takes you to the extraordinary realm of musical art, an area that expresses the most beautiful feelings that you would ever expect.

In seeking the most fitting way to summarize such an eloquent artist and performer, one truly should understand his determination, his great interest in creating music, and most of all his love for the art.

"To me, alone at the piano, I can play from the heart. The piano, in my own personal feeling, is the most inspiring instrument ever created, it is like a land of endless treasures. Whenever I felt a true genuine feeling to express my emotions to those around me and in my concerts, I surpassed the language barrier and talked to them in the only way I know, through music as my native tongue."

"SILARD is one of my favorite musical artists in the world today. From the first time that I heard his awe-inspiring performances at a concert in Las Vegas, I was thrilled and enamored with the music flowing from this creative genius. Later, getting to know him as a person and composer, I felt both honored and ecstatic for SILARD to compose the music for our international, Brazilian love story, THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA, which will begin production in November 2006. Our creative film-making team is looking forward to working with SILARD and his passionate blending of classical music, jazz, ethnic music and soul to create memorable music and feelings."

UBU TV network will debut in September 2006 and is a positive, progressive urban TV network that seeks to entertain, enlight, encourage and empower first the beautiful mosaic of people that comprise urban America and then to export its broadcast to the rest of the world.
