Mihály Demeniv was recognized by the general public in 2014 as the finalist and special prize winner of the talent show Virtuosos, which made accordion music an elemental experience for thousands.

His incredibly varied repertoire is unified by his devotion to and immense love for his instrument: for him, Bach's works are like the Bible, he plays Liszt with skill, he passionately interprets the music of Latin composers such as Albéniz or Piazzolla, and he always finds new challenges in contemporary music and jazz. Not only does his passion for the accordion radiate from the stage, but he also passes it on as a young teacher to future musicians.

One of the most sought-after jazz pianists of the new generation is Junior Prima Award winner Áron Tálas, who came to the piano from the world of rhythm and the drum. In addition to his two bands, he plays in various formations, he is an excellent multi-instrumentalist composer. In 2013, he was named "Keyboard Player of the Year", in 2015, he was a finalist of the Montreux Jazz Piano Competition and was awarded the Gramophone Prize. As a teacher, he also conveys to his students the notion that "Jazz is a self-study class."
