Biography

Krisztina Pados

Krisztina inherited her love of music from her mother who was a piano teacher. She chose violin because she wanted play an instrument that could be part of a band.

„It seemed like a good idea; the day after my college graduation concert I dropped into the band of the then-operating Rock Theater as a violinist, which was a completely different style and feeling from playing only classical music until then. This marked the beginning of an excursion for me in an easier genre (Operetta, Madách Theater, Interoperett Concerts) until Princess was formed.”

She is a founding member of the formation that has been on the stage since 2001.

„What can I say? Princess is like my child. Or one of my limbs. It grew up with me, I genuinely love it. The band is the best it has ever been in today’s form and lineup. It’s great to work with Bea, Dorka, Judit, and the boys; every concert is another challenge.”

Kriszta carried on her love for classical music; she has given many concerts with the Dohnányi Orchestra of Budafok, and has also participated in film music studio recordings. She spends her free time with her daughter, Vivien, playing sports and reading.
