🎼 Special guests and collaborators

Mentors, inspiring artists and friends will join Bori and Erik on stage for this concert.

🎹 Gábor Presser has been the most significant musical influence on the two artists. His musical sensitivity and distinctive melodic world continue to inspire Bori and Erik as songwriters. They are especially honoured that he will perform with them in person:

“An artist whose work has helped shape who we are today will be standing beside us on stage. Without his legacy, we certainly wouldn’t be the artists we are now!”

🎭 Zoltán Seress, a Jászai Mari Award-winning actor and member of the Vígszínház theatre company, inspired the theatrical atmosphere of the performance. He and Erik have worked together on several productions, and their shared dressing room at the Pesti Theatre has been the setting for many creative sparks.

🎭 Miklós Vecsei H., a Junior Prima Award-winning actor and creative artist, has a long-standing friendship with Bori and Erik, as well as a history of collaborative projects with them. These include Nem akarok (I Don’t Want To), created together with Anna Juhász. He and Bori are also the frontpeople of the QJÚB concert-theatre ensemble.

🎙️ Lilla Orbay is one of the most distinctive and versatile young artists on Hungary’s jazz scene. As both a singer and songwriter, she brings a fresh perspective to contemporary jazz. Her music naturally blends intimacy with the energy of improvisation.

🎙️ Izabella Caussanel is a French-Hungarian singer and songwriter. She is a founding member and vocalist of the Fonogram Award-winning band Ötödik Évszak and the group Ephemere. Since 2023, she has also been a regular guest vocalist with Magyar Banda.
