Hungarian born violinist, Bela Horvath began to play at age 3. In 1996, Bela entered the Bela Bartok Conservatory and won a number of awards at the renowned national violin competitions in Hungary. In 2000, he continued his study of violin at the Franz Liszt University of Music.

Hailed for his “beautiful command of tone and mood…and unruffleable savoir-faire” (San
Francisco Chronicle), his “layers of emotional expression” (The Examiner) and his “level of
artistry that seem far beyond his years” (Contra Costa Times), Carlos Avila is one of the most in-demand pianists on the classical music scene. His concerts have taken him across North and South America, Europe, and Asia.
Avila began his professional career in 2001 and since then he has been a guest at festivals such as Schleswig-Holstein, Tanglewood, Sarasota, Aspen, Banff, Music Academy of the West, Pianofest, and many others. He had the opportunity to work and study with the late Isaac Stern, Daniel Barenboim, Michael Tilson Thomas, Emanuel Ax, Richard Goode and members of the St. Lawrence, Tokyo, Guarneri, Juilliard, Ying, and Borodin String Quartets. Avila was recently showcased on New York’s WQXR as one of the winners of Juilliard’s prestigious Gina Bachauer Piano Competition.
A proud Filipino-American, Avila is a graduate of the Juilliard School where he studied with Jerome Lowenthal and did prior studies at Yale with Peter Frankl and Claude Frank.
