About
Levente Bubreg is a bassoonist from Tyrol. In 2025 the Wiener Symphoniker gave him their WSY Talent award, and in 2026 he won the Werner Pirchner Prize with his siblings in the Bubreg Quartett.
Born into an Austrian-Hungarian family of musicians, he started the bassoon at the age of eight with Manuel Lämmle at the music school Reutte-Außerfern. He studies with Daniele Muleri at the Tyrolean State Conservatory, where he has attended the precollege since 2022, and since 2024 also with Prof. Dag Jensen in the precollege of the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich. At eleven he made his solo debut with the StringSZ Orchestra in the Silbersaal in Schwaz.
As a soloist he has appeared with the Wiener Symphoniker and the Wiener Kammerorchester, with the Orchestra Accademia d’Archi Arrigoni at the Altolivenza Festival in Italy, at the Wiener Konzerthaus and at the Dvořák Festival in Prague. Orchestral projects have taken him to the Verbier Festival Junior Orchestra, the Summer Academy of the Vienna Philharmonic at the Salzburg Festival, the Camerata Prima Wien and the Wiener Jeunesse Orchester.
