Life
Sáry studied at the Franz Liszt Music Academy in Budapest with Endre Szervánszky, among others . Together with other Hungarian composers such as Zoltán Jeney , László Vidovszky , Péter Eötvös and Albert Simon, he set up the “Új Zenei Stúdió” (Studio for New Music) in 1970 , in which he is active as a composer and performing musician.
In 1972 he attended the Darmstadt Summer Course for New Music , where he met Christian Wolff , who aroused his interest in new composition techniques and performance methods.
In the mid-1970s Sáry developed the Sáry method ( "Sáry módszer - Kreatív zenei gyakorlatok" ), the "exercises for creative music-making" . The method is intended to sensitize the pupil to the acoustic and musical environment and thus aims to convey concepts of New Music in an intuitively accessible form.
Sáry's method was introduced in music schools and is also taught at the Ferenc Liszt Music Academy. Sáry also introduced his method in 1994 in the MUS-E project, a Europe-wide artistic program for schools supported by the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation Germany. Sáry also represented his method in courses that he gave during stays in Japan, France, Italy, Belgium and Estonia. At the end of 2006 / beginning of 2007 the method was presented at a workshop series of the German-Hungarian cultural project bipolar in Germany.
In the 1990s Sáry was the musical director of "Katona József Színház" and taught at the University of Theater and Film in Budapest. He composed the music for the dance opera “Labyrinth”, which was staged by the choreographers Gerzson Péter Kovács and Gábor Mihály with the “Hungarian State Folk Ensemble” (Magyar Állami Népi Együttes) in 2008.
Sáry has composed over eighty works, including three chamber operas . For his compositions he received the Kassák Prize in 1979, the Erkel Prize ( Erkel Ferenc-díj ) in 1986 , and the Bartók Pásztory Prize ( Bartók Béla-Pásztory Ditta-díj ) in 1993 . In 1998 he received a third prize at the International Rostrum of Electroacoustic Music (IREM) of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (ICEM) and the International Music Council (IMC / UNESCO) and in 2000 the state award Érdemes művész . Sáry has been a member of the Széchenyi Academy of Arts since 1998.
His older brother is the composer József Sári .
