Musical credo:

“Artists are like interpreters. They mediate between the author and the audience in a language they are intimately familiar with, and as the interpreter is free to choose among different synonyms, syntactic tools and so on, so does the artist add their own personality and message to the conveyed piece (while delivering a required minimum of the source material, of course). After all, our goal is this: to communicate through a universal medium that everyone can understand, and this medium is music itself.” (Tóth-Vajna Zsombor)

Harmonia Caelestis Baroque Orchestra

Different parts added together can bring something new, something harmonic. The group members themselves are different, each in their own way, but despite this, we strive to create something which binds us and our audience together. This is celestial harmony.
