Márton Bubreg is a saxophonist of Hungarian origin and lives in Munich. He began playing the saxophone at the age of five; from 2009 to 2014 he was taught by Attila Bubreg. In 2014 he was admitted as a junior student to the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, where he has studied with Professor Koryun Asatryan ever since and where he began his Bachelor’s degree in 2023.

Masterclasses and lessons with Claude Delangle, Arno Bornkamp, Nobuya Sugawa, Vincent David, Timothy McAllister and many other leading saxophonists have shaped his playing.

In 2018 he received the Grand Prize of the 52nd Concertino Praga International Radio Competition together with the Helena Karásková Award. First prizes followed at the Andorra Sax Fest, the FEMUS competition in Serbia, ClariSax in France, the Odessa Golden Saxophone competition and the Köles István International Saxophone Competition in Hungary, which he won in 2018 and again in 2021. He was awarded the Espoir Prize at the Osaka International Music Competition, second prize at the Gran Canaria International Saxophone Competition and, in 2023, first prize with the full 100 points at the Premio Crescendo in Italy.

As a soloist he has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Rudolfinum in Prague, the National Philharmonic in Kyiv and the Herkulessaal in Munich, and at festivals such as Murten Classics, the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival, the Dvořák Festival in Prague and the West-Eastern Divan Festival. Orchestras he has appeared with include the Neue Philharmonie München, the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Tyrolean Symphony Orchestra Innsbruck, INNSTRUMENTI Tyrolean Chamber Orchestra, the Vinnytsia Philharmonic Orchestra and the Saxophone Orchestra SOS Ljubljana.

Chamber music is the other half of his musical life. With his brother Bence, a clarinettist, he forms Duo Bubreg²; the two recorded a solo and duo programme for Czech Radio (Český rozhlas).
