„I wish to bring forth sounds and moods from the old Hungarian (Csángó Hungarian) world, to ignite a small, colourful spark in the soul. Our music flows from a pure source: the heritage of our ancestors. We proudly embrace the fact that our eastern-rooted culture and faith have kept us within the Hungarian nation for over a thousand years.
I feel that my mission, given by God, is to express the beauty of our small nation — primarily through ceramics and my singing voice — because the Csángó people living in Moldva have preserved their natural instincts, ancient knowledge, and deep-rooted faith, reaching back to the time of creation.” – Mária Petrás
