In addition to themes of empowerment and academic success, the audience was wooed with the roots music of Kalyi Jag, later wowed by Ferenc Molnár, or Caramel, one of Hungary’s leading popular musicians, and surprised by the educational message of a young collective of Romani poets led by Kristof Horvath.
