The Téka ensemble was formed thirty-two years ago, on the wings of the dance house movement. Since that time, the preservation and promotion of folk culture has remained its artistic vocation.  Performing the rural music of the Hungarian-speaking part of Eastern Europe, the ensemble animates concert halls with a lively village atmosphere, producing a pure sound characterized by a profound knowledge of style, a high level of instrument proficiency and crystal-clear intonation and melodic phrasing alike. 

Each member collects and teaches folk music, organizes camps and collaborates in the production of folk music publications.  Over the course of its existence, Téka has received the following honors and awards: Young Masters of Folk Art (1977), The „For Hungarian Culture” Prize (1991), Bartók Béla Memorial Prize (2006).
