János Sebestyén (2 March 1931 – 4 February 2012) was a Hungarian organist, harpsichordist, pianist and journalist. János Sebestyén was born in Budapest to parents who were both musicians and educators. His father, Sándor Sebestyén, studied cello and authored several pedagogical works. His mother, Rózsi Mannaberg, studied piano. He began his formal musical education in 1946 at the State Music Secondary School, studying piano, organ, and composition. He continued his studies at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, where he graduated with an organ diploma in 1955. Later, he attended the harpsichord class of Zuzana Růžičková in Prague. Sebestyén toured internationally as an organ and harpsichord soloist, performing in countries including Russia, India, the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, the United States, and throughout Europe. In 1970, he founded the first harpsichord class at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. He served on juries for organ and harpsichord competitions in various countries, including France, the Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, and Switzerland.
