Two bright and talented young artists.

He received the Junior Prima Prize in 2014 and the Annie Fischer Scholarship in 2016. One of the most respected music magazines The Strad praised Ernő Kállai's play as "sophisticated and elegant."

His partner, Rudolf Czene, is one of the most talented pianists of his generation.
