Dear Colleagues and Musician Friends all around the world,

It is our pleasure to announce that the 31st International Kodály Seminar will take place in Kecskemét from July 18th till July 29th this summer.

Several professors of the Liszt Ferenc University of Music received prestigious state awards on the occasion of the national holiday on March 15. Composer Máté Balogh, an assistant professor at the University and a lecturer at our Institute, received the Ferenc Erkel Award for his outstanding work as a composer and music director.

In 2021, Anita Nagy, Director of the Liszt Institute, Hungarian Cultural Centre in Tokyo organised series of online lectures in Hungarian around the introduction of early childhood art education in Hungary and Japan by prominent educators Katalin Forrai, Mária Vida Székácsné and Hani Kyōko. 

The Foundation for the Kecskemét Kodály Institute is pleased to announce the following scholarships for the 2022-2023 academic year.

Five-hundred-year-old coins, a residential house from the Árpád Era and the ground floor of a tower in the former centre of medieval Kecskemét were unearthed during the excavation prior to the renovation of the Kodály Institute, archaeologist András Kristóf Fazekas, employee of the József Katona Museum in Kecskemét told MTI.

On 16 December, students of the Institute walked to the Kecskemét Railway Station and laid a wreath there to commemorate the 139th anniversary of Zoltán Kodály's birth.

The Kodály HUB extended its features within the MUSICBOOK (previously known as Songbook). To celebrate these functions, we have a nice offer for KodályHUB users.
