Are you considering studying in the Kodály Institute or planning to send a student of yours to study there?

Here are the latest information about the study options in the 2021/22 Academic Year for prospective students:

A new album has been released under HUNGAROTON label by contraalto Judit Rajk presenting a special collection of 20th - 21st century Hungarian compositions from Kodály's rarely recorded ballads and folk song arrangements to contemporary composers such as Zoltán Jeney, Barnabás Dukay and Máté Balogh representing the emerging generation of composers. Although the bases of the works in this recording differ, they share one point in common: they use a small slice of the past in a daring and unique manner, whether it is actually used or merely as an element of inspiration. The challenge for the performer is to decide how to enrich this “past”, this time of tradition, with her own tempo.

The Liszt Academy of Music celebrated Kodály's 138th anniversary yesterday with a festive concert featuring renowned professors and a special programme.

In case you have missed the on-line broadcast here it is (the concert starts at 5'05") with László Nemes as presenter. Enjoy the concert!

 

Book the date of 16th December in your calendar and enjoy the “Kodály 138” anniversary concert from the comfort of your home on the birthday of Kodály. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Kodály's music and get enchanted by the splendour of the famous Grand Hall of the Liszt Academy of Music.

On the 16th of December, 2020 at 7.30 pm (CET) the Liszt Academy of Music and its Kodály Institute pay a tribute to Zoltán Kodály with a magnificent concert featuring world class Hungarian musical artists, Liszt Academy professors. 

The newest publication by the Kodály Institute of the Liszt Academy of Music is an unique collection of curated Jewish songs, dances and easy choral pieces. Recommended for classroom music teachers and choral conductors who are constantly looking for new, multicultural repertoire, to get true inspiration from this book.

Not only does the exotic repertoire make Hargittai's book attractive, but the fact that it was written according to the Kodály Concept, each piece comes with teaching tips, thorough methodology guidelines and games to help teachers deliver the songs in a meaningful and engaging way to students, makes it a valuable professional textbook as well.

"Move mi Music", the idea of the Kodály Institute developed by AutSoft company, won in the "Innovation Projects" category at the ITBUSINESS Awards.

It is wonderful to see that this amazing app is recognised by the ICT world specialists. Congratulation to the teams for this exceptional achievement.

We are happy to announce that Dr Anna Dalos’s new monograph Zoltán Kodály’s World of Music has been published by University of California Press. Dr Dalos is Hungary’s leading Kodály expert, senior research fellow and Head of the Archives for the 20th-21st Century Hungarian Music at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
