Snétberger Music Talent Center was founded by Ferenc Snétberger in 2011 to support the musical education of children with disadvantaged backgrounds. Every year, the Center provides 12 week tailor-made education in jazz and classical music for 60-65 exceptionally talented youngsters who have primarily Roma background and mainly live in the Hungarian countryside. The aim of Ferenc Snétberger’s pedagogical program and mentor system is to support the young talents in their music career. The students have concerts regularly in Hungary and Europe. In 2019 they already performed in Madrid before the royal family and in Portugal at the Terras sem Sombra festival. „I would not say that I’m the most proud of one specific person, because here the multitude of individual fates creates the feeling of community and experience of unity. This is a place where we become each other’s family in music, we learn from each other. For us music is the most important, music binds us together, music is the source of love and joy. Music lifts us together up. What only counts is: Music above all.” Ferenc Snétberger about the Music Talent Center and the music.
