The trumpet player, Tamás Pálfalvi, was nominated by Müpa of Budapest. He has performed in many of the world’s principal concert halls. According to the Bayerische Rundfunk, “Tamás and his instrument form a dream team in an adventure that also pulls in the listener. So fasten your seat belts – a rapid heartbeat is guaranteed”.
