Life
Ilona Prunyi studied from 1958 to 1963 at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, with József Gát and András Mihály. She became a lecturer there, but struggled with a long illness in the first few years. In Paris she took a course with Yvonne Lefébure. She was friends with Annie Fischer. Prunyi made her concert debut in 1974, and has since played with the Hungarian orchestras, chamber orchestras, played piano four hands, and also performed as a soloist. She has been awarded the Artisjus Award several times. Prunyi also performs of lesser known composers, such as the work of Stephen Heller and Ernő Dohnányi.
