Biography

Ella Nagy is an Irish-Hungarian pianist based in Dublin. She completed her performance-focused Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees with First Class Honours in the Royal Irish Academy of Music. Her interest in opera started in 2017 when she began accompanying singers in their lessons with the late Veronica Dunne. Ever since, Ella has enjoyed working closely with singers and so, she is absolutely delighted to join INO’s Studio in the 2024-25 season as the assistant répétiteur in the upcoming opera productions. Since winning the 2022 BVOF | John Pollard RIAM Bursary as the first instrumental musician, Ella has performed in the Blackwater Valley Opera Festival in both 2023 and 2024, where she most recently performed with fellow bursary winners Rory Lynch and Seán Tester. 

She is the winner of the 2019 Maura Dowdall Concerto Competition, the 2023 RIAM Chamber Festival Dublin Prize and the runner up in the 2023 Irish Freemasons Young Musician of the Year competition. Ella has performed in most of Ireland's concert venues, most notably, in the National Concert Hall where she received a standing ovation for her performance of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra. Internationally, Ella has given recitals in the UK, Portugal, Hungary and in New York City and Florida, in the USA. Ella’s performances have been broadcast on RTÉ Lyric FM, Dublin South FM and BBC Radio Ulster.
