The Adyton Artistic Foundation was established by Grencsó István in 2016. The primary purpose of the Foundation is respecting, maintaining and caring for the life-works of Szabados György and the cultivation and dissemination of Hungarian improvised music. To this end, the Adyton Artistic Foundation (AAF) organizes and supports the creation of works of art that contribute, in a dignified manner, to the continuation, enrichment and bringing to life of the tradition that we have undertaken. During the Adyton Free Music Get-together Workshop, young musicians, led by expert musical artists, can get acquainted with the practice of free music, the spirit of spontaneous, improvised playing together. We have managed to create a tradition with the annual gatherings since 2015.
