Music is very popular in small towns and villages with the Carpathian Basin Tour in “Music Goes Home”. Musical culture is introduced to young ones in new and exciting ways.
The themes for the interactive performances were chosen from the educational light music performances of the Rock and Pop Legends band. Young people can learn about prominent figures in the world of music and learn how these artists have shaped music culture over the years. Music history displays showcase exciting and beloved moments from the careers of legendary bands and performers, while also allowing you to experience the process of making music.

In the same year, guitarist Zoltan Nagy joined the team, and in 2022, keyboardist Felician Kovacs. This year’s tour with guitarist Daniel Copponci will be expanded in two weeks.
