Geza and The Bohemian Virtuosi video

Since May 2011 Geza has invested a great deal of effort towards
creating an exceptional orchestra of young talented soloists in his
hometown, Budapest. Barely a month later, the "Bohemian Virtuosi" are
performing on the stage of Lugano's festival, achieving immediate
success. The idea of creating a foundation then insued, with the goal
being to help the young talents of Eastern Europe, confronted to
financial difficulty, to express themselves within the ensemble.
