Hailed for her passionate and vibrant performances as well as the creative, elaborate interpretations that have captivated audiences worldwide, Noemi Gyori is quickly establishing a name in the classical music scene as an exceptional and versatile flutist, equally in demand as soloist, chamber musician, orchestral flutist and pedagogue.
