Biographie
* 02. 01. 1927.
Erik Székely was born into a musical family in Lugano; his father is a Hungarian and his mother a Scot. After relocating many times he finally settled in Neuenburg. He began his studies at Lausanne and Geneva conservatories after profiting greatly from his fathers instruction in music, he had hardly graduated before he attempted his first composition with assistance from Zoltán Kodály and Tibor Harsányi. His development as a composer is defined in an independently artistic way.
He was rewarded at the international composers competition of Vercelli (1951), Genoa (1952) and Liège (1953). He was presented with the prize awarded by the culture foundation of the 'Neuenburger Kantonalbank' for his life's work in 1999. From 1960 until 1989 he was dedicated to the teaching of music (piano, theory of harmony and introduction) at colleges in Neuenburg - mainly at the canton college of Neuenburg.
