In August 2023, on the island of Sardinia, we met Italian vibraphonist Pasquale Mirra, who we soon discovered had a quartet with Hamid Drake, Viktor Tóth and Mátyás Szandai. We immediately started planning and organising to bring these four musicians back together for the 2024 festival. Just ten days later, we received the sad news that Matyi had tragically passed away at a young age.

With this concert, we pay tribute to the memory of this extraordinarily talented musician.
