György Orbán

György Orbán (born 12 July 1947 in Târgu Mureș, Romania) is a Romanian-born Hungarian composer.

After completing his studies, he joined the faculty of that school where he taught both music theory and counterpoint for six years.

In 1989 his avant-garde music composition Triple Sextet (1979) received honors at the Tribune Internationale des Compositeurs  [fr] in Paris.

While his earlier music embraced the avant-garde style, he moved away from this beginning in the mid-1980s into a neo-Romantic aesthetic.

[1] His choral music mixes traditional liturgical renaissance and baroque counterpoint with intrusions from jazz.
