Throughout much of his childhood, Baráti lived in Venezuela, where he began performing with leading orchestras from the age of eight.
Baráti later returned to Hungary to study at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, and, in 1996, he began studying in Paris with Professor Eduard Wulfson.
Wulfson, who had been a student of Yehudi Menuhin, Nathan Milstein, and Henryk Szeryng, passed on to Baráti the standards which his own teachers had embodied.
In October 2010, Barati won the Sixth International Paganini Violin Competition in Moscow.
Baráti regularly performs in Hungary with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, conducted by Iván Fischer, and with the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zoltan Kocsis.
