Harry Rylance is a 13-year-old British boy studying piano in the Liszt Academy's Special School for Exceptional Young Talents. He started learning piano when he was six years old and gave a number of recita
ls in New Zealand, where his family was living at that time. He was taught by Professor Peter Nagy, now the Head of the Academy's Piano Department while the Hungarian maestro was on secondment at New Zealand's U niversity of Canterbury.
It was this Hungarian connection and referral that introduced Harry to the Liszt Academy and after a successful audition, Harry and his mother moved to Budapest to study under Professor Peter Nagy. Harry currently studies under Professor Andras Kemenes following a year with Professor Rita Wagner and has blossomed since his enrollment.
On January 8, 2009, Harry performed the Mozart Rondo K.41 in the Great Hall with the Liszt Academy Chamber Orchestra and received glowing praise in the local music magazine, Fidelio.
