Biography Máté Drippey & Máté Szabó
Máté Drippey
I was born in 1995. At the age of 14, I started playing the saxophone. I was admitted to the Franz Liszt Academy of Music where I sharpened my musical knowledge under the wings of Mihály Borbély and István Elek. I spent a semester in Groningen, the Netherlands, where I met, learned from and played with several New York-based jazz musicians. Since graduation, I have been a member of several bands and played in concerts. I have already played as a replacement in the saxophone section of the Modern Art Orchestra at the Palace of Arts and attended the Copenhagen Jazz Festival with the Paprico Band in the summer of 2019.
