János Alexander Madaras is a Hungarian cellist and music educator with a strong passion for music performance, education, and creating social impact through the arts. He graduated from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest and the University of Gothenburg, holding master’s degrees in classical cello, education, and symphonic orchestra performance.

He has been working with Dream Orchestra since 2023 as a cello teacher, sectional leader, and orchestra trainer at the three venues in Gothenburg: central Gothenburg, Lövgärdet, and Biskopsgården. There, he also mentors young musicians from diverse backgrounds, including refugees and unaccompanied minors, providing both musical and personal guidance to foster growth, confidence, and creativity. Furthermore, his educational work extends to the community schools in Tynnered and Gårdsten, where he leads ensemble and orchestra projects for children and youth, integrating music theory and string training based on Dream Orchestra’s Learning Model.

With over a decade of international experience, he brings a unique combination of artistic excellence, empathetic pedagogy, and community-building spirit to every stage and classroom he enters. As a cellist, János has held principal positions in several symphony orchestras, including the Szolnok Symphony Orchestra and the Danube Symphony Orchestra, and has performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège, the European Philharmonic of Switzerland, and the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, to name just a few.

He is also an experienced studio musician, having recorded with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and East Connection Music for a wide array of international productions.
