Family background

In my mother's family it is a long tradition to choose the pedagogical career. Many of the ancestors were teachers, my mother is a teacher of mathematics.
My father, Dr. Bálint Sárosi is an ethnomusicologist. He was a student, later a colleague of Zoltán Kodály at the Hungarian Institute of Musicology.
During the common work with my husband, the lutenist and singer
Gábor Rajnai, in the field of performing arts, Renaissance and Baroque music and the harpsichord have become important parts of my life.
