"Music is a language that needs no translation; it connects generations, crosses national borders and unites diverse communities in a single musical motif.” This was a thought announced at the opening of the concert concluding the International Summer Academy for Young Musicians, where the Zoltán Kodály World Youth Orchestra took the stage of Kölcsey Center after thirteen days of intensive rehearsals. The young musicians then performed the greatest classical works while also paying homage to founding conductor Tamás Vásáry.
