ISTVÁN BERECZ won the soloist folk dance category of the first internationally televised “Fölszállott a Páva” Hungarian Talent competition in 2012 and went on to become one of the judges, which is where he started working closely with the Sarjú Band. Additionally, he received the  ́Eternal Golden Spur ́ National Folk Dance Soloist Award, and is the Folk Music Director of the Fonó Music House. The 2021 US tour of István Berecz is supported by the Liszt Institute New York.

The SARJÚ BAND ́s young musicians from Budapest won the band of the year in 2016 as part of the “Fölszállott a Páva” National Hungarian Television Talent competition. Their mission is to study and preserve authentic Hungarian village folk music while striving to keep the legacies of the old masters from the villages alive on stage and in dance houses for generations to come.

DIANA SANTANA CADENA is an architectural artist of Hungarian and Ecuadorian descent and dances with the Bartók Folk Dance Ensemble of Budapest.
