About

The KALOT Association is a community-based adult education organization with deep roots and a living mission. Founded in 1935 by Jesuit Father Jenő Kerkai, the movement sought to uplift the most vulnerable – especially rural communities – through knowledge, community, and moral strength.
Re-established in 2004 in Șumuleu Ciuc at the initiative of Jesuit Father Imre András, KALOT has been serving adult learning, community growth, and spiritual development in Székely Land and beyond for over 20 years.
Our mission: to contribute to a fairer, more human-centered society by nurturing communities of mature, authentic, and supportive people.
Our values:
 – Christian roots with openness to today’s world
 – The power of community and personal connection
 – Knowledge in service of responsibility
 – Identity and culture through tradition and modernity
 – Nonprofit commitment to the common good
With KALOT, learning is more than education: it is experience, community, inspiration, and service.

Founded in 2001, the Csik Chamber Orchestra is now one of the leading orchestras of the country. In July 2001, a chamber orchestra, founded by university students from the most prominent Universities of the country played its first concert in Miercurea-Ciuc, under the leadership of renowned pianist, conductor, and pedagogue, Zoltán Szőnyi. The concert was such a great success that soon it became a regular performer not only as part of citywide events but it created its own concert schedule and named itself “Csik Chamber Orchestra”. Since 2002, the orchestra has also met foreign invitations. Their recordings have been broadcasted several times on the MR1 Bartók Radio in Budapest and Radio Târgu-Mureş. Thanks to the financial support of different grants and organizations, the orchestra appear offen as a full symphonic orchestra, still keeping its name as Csik Chamber Orchestra, as a tribute to its origins. In the autumn of 2006 they invited to Budapest to the Music Academy of Liszt. Duna Television has made a documentary about the ensemble, which was released in the same year, entitled “The Music of Ciuc and Salzburg” – The concert of the Csik Chamber Orchestra at the Music Academy (Liszt Ferenc Music Academy, Budapest, Hungary). Since 2008, the orchestra performs more than 6 concerts a year, and supports, organizes and oversees many other classical music events in the area. One of them is the Early Music Festival from Miercurea Ciuc, which is now internationally renowned and in 2019 celebrated its 39th-year anniversary; the series of Autumn Piano Evenings, launched in 2017; BonBon Matiné lecture concert series dedicated for the youth and many more.

„Egy ókori mítosz szerint Zeusz állította fel az olimpiai játékokat, miután legyőzte Kronoszt. Az olimpiáról minden hellénnek hírt kellett kapnia, hogy biztosan odaérjenek.” Sok év után ismét táncháztalálkozót hirdetünk Udvarhelyen, a 40 éves erdélyi táncházat ünnepelve és éltetve. Most adunk hírt jó előre, hogy mindenki biztosan oda- és ráérjen: szeptember 22-23, Székelyudvarhely. Mindenkit várunk. Találkozni jó. Öröm rég nem látott kollégát, barátot megölelni, öröm a szabott és beosztott időn kívüli (szabad) időt együtt eltölteni, hogy ismét és ismét átéljük a találkozás örömét, azt, hogy országtól - kortól - lakhelytől függetlenül a táncházban, a hagyományos paraszti kultúra szeretetében, összetartozunk. Tegyünk félre bánatot és fájdalmakat. Tegyünk félre munkát, lakodalmat, szórakozást és termény-betakarítást. Találkozzunk. És közösen ismét le fogjuk győzni az Időt. Kelemen László
