Advent Sounds for Acceptance

Advent Charity Concert featuring a diverse lineup, organized by the House of Music and the My World Foundation in support of the latter organization. The charity and fundraising concert held by the My World Foundation, which promotes supported housing for people with autism, will feature the SUGO Tambura Orchestra from Sükösd, who will also perform at the inaugural session of Parliament in May 2026, Tamás Pajor, the Czutor family band, the Szilvási Gipsy Folk Band and Róbert Sinha – the event will be hosted by Kata Jaksity and Dr. Tamás Gerő.

The My World Foundation was founded in 2023 by the parents of teenage children with autism – their mission is supported housing. People with autism are only able to live a relatively independent life in a protected environment, with ongoing assistance. The My World Foundation aims to create this kind of environment for them in the form of supported housing, where all the conditions are in place for them to live a peaceful, safe life and receive healthcare. “As parents and professionals, we all want young people to be able to remain close to their families while still living their own adult lives in their own communities. We are also committed to creating every opportunity for them to integrate into society, live as independently as possible as adults, thrive and enjoy social recognition. We respect their decisions, personal freedom and human dignity fully and in all circumstances, and we convey these principles to the world around them as well.”

Performers at the charity concert:

SUGO Tambura Orchestra
Sükösd is a village of around 3,700 inhabitants in Bács-Kiskun County, near the Serbian border. Its population is ethnically diverse: Swabians, Bunjevci, Šokci, Roma and Hungarians live side by side. The Bácska region has its own distinctive South Slavic, Hungarian and Roma musical traditions, which also shape the orchestra’s repertoire. The SUGO Tambura Orchestra draws on the South Slavic, Hungarian and Roma folk traditions of Bácska. Its repertoire includes the justly famous “The forest is green, the mountain is green too,” which many regard as the Roma anthem, as well as the Moldavian Csángó folk song beginning “The spring wind swells the waters.” They performed these two tunes at Parliament’s inaugural session in May 2026, which brought them enormous nationwide recognition within just a few hours. The orchestra’s members are children aged 7–11, and the vast majority of the twenty-member group are disadvantaged; many are Roma or of mixed ethnicity. “In the orchestra, every child is equal, regardless of their background; we are all Hungarian, and every child can be the other’s best friend.”

Tamás Pajor 
Tamás Pajor became known as the frontman of Neurotic in the Hungarian underground scene of the ’80s, with his distinctive punk and new wave lyrics. After his conversion, he became a leading figure in Christian popular music as frontman of Amen. From the 2020s onward, he began a new chapter under the name Weisz, returning to Hungary’s cultural scene as an active creator with new songs, videos and content on public affairs.

The Czutor Family
The Czutor Family is Zoltán Czutor’s family band, founded in 2022 with his wife, Zsanett Czutor–Kilián, and their son, Simon. They play intimate-sounding acoustic songs, often in connection with film music commissions. Their first well-known work was The Quiet German Family, written for the film Western Vacation. The band performs rarely, mostly at invitation-only concerts.

Szilvási Gipsy Folk Band
The Szilvási Gipsy Folk Band is a Budapest-based Roma folk band that combines traditional Vlach Roma folk music with energetic, improvisational performance and modern influences. They became known in the ’90s after winning the Ki mit tud? talent competition, and have since become one of Hungary’s leading Roma folk groups. Their music is dominated by mouth bass, kanna, cimbalom and guitar, and their repertoire is built on authentic Roma folk songs, which they perform in their distinctive, spirited style.

Róbert Sinha 
Róbert Sinha was born in Budapest to a Hungarian mother and an Indian father. He has always loved music, and as a teenager he dreamed of becoming a musician, but then, for a while, he chose his other great passion: physics. There were musical talents among both his Hungarian and Indian ancestors. His Hungarian grandmother was a contracted actress and an excellent pianist, while his grandfather adored jazz and tap-danced. Both could have had brilliant careers, but first the war and then communism intervened. His Indian grandmother sang on Indian public radio.
