In addition, there are some unique elements in the program; traditional Hungarian folk instrument, the cimbalom and Hungarian folk songs adaptation performed by an authentic gypsy band.
A special spectacle is guaranteed on the performance by one of Hungary’s famous young artists from the national ‘Virtuosos!’ Talent Show.
The 90 minutes long concerts (consisting of two 40-45 minute long parts with an intermission in between) take place in two of Budapest's most prestigious theaters; the Danube Palace and the Pesti Vigadó, both in a central downtown location.
