This wonderful instrument followed the piano and the accordeon in my life. I fell in love with tango through Carlos Saura’s Tango movie and although at that point I started only dancing, tango music conquered me from that moment on. Bandoneón has not been taught by anyone in Hungary and few teach how to play it in Europe, so I learnt to play by myself on the instrument I received in the year of 2005. I could immediately try the genre in Orquesta Típica Budapest, the local tango band in the city of Budapest.
In 2010 I took lessons via Skype from the Argentine bandoneonist and arranger, Julian Hasse. In 2014 I participated in the Musitango orchestra workshop in Aix-en-Provence, France where I found the great bandoneonist, Victor Villena, who has been teaching and helping me a lot since then. I keep on participating in his masterclasses mainly for solo bandoneon in France (Aubagne, Avignon, Parisy). I spent a year learning jazz improvisation from Bert Seager, a great Boston based jazz pianist. In 2016 I took classes from the excellent bandoneonist, Omar Massa, who is a specialist of Astor Piazzolla’s style and music.
I have been playing with different orchestras since the beginning, luckily with great musicians.

I played with one of the best tango orchestras in Europe, Ensemble Hyperion, as a second bandoneonist in Tuscany and in Switzerland, I also participate on their CD, Remembranzas in several of the numbers. I had a tango project and several performances with Lanner Quartet, the string quartet formed by musicians of the Budapest Festival Orchestra. 

I founded my own group, the Eszter Vörös Tango Company mainly to interpret authentic Argentina tango and other styles that derive from it. It functiones as a musical workshop with different musicians.

In 2017 I was invited to play in the concert of legendary Hungarian musician, singer and composer, János Másik, with whom I could taste rock music as well. In 2018 I was the guest of world-famous opera star, Erwin Schrott in his Opera Gala event in Budapest.

In 2020 I was one of the guest soloist in the festival of the Budapest Strings where besides tangos and Piazzolla’s works we played the bandoneon concerto composed especially for this occasion by János Másik (Fantasies For Bandoneon and Strings). In the spring of 2023 I performed with world famous mezzo soprano Luciana Mancini and pianist Éva Gárdos at the MusikTheater an der Wien in their Season presentation concert.

In my reperoire of orchestral works there is Martin Palmeri’s Misa a Buenos Aires (Misatango) and Piazzolla’s Double Concerto for Guitar and Bandoneon and String Orchestra.
As a freelancer I have been invited to cooperate with different types of groups and projects: I played with tango groups, a symphony orchestra, a string quartet and a mixed choir.
My first instrument was an Alfred Arnold (the most popular and important make in the bandoneon world), now I am playing a new Fischer (one of the few makes that are currently produced in Argentina).
