6th of March is the day when we regularly visit the Farkasréti Cemetery to pay tribute to Zoltán Kodály at his grave. This year the coronavirus restrictions allowed only a very modest, though very heartful commemoration on a beautiful sunny spring day.

Our teacher Máté Balogh won a shared 3rd prize at the II. Impronta Ensemble Composition Competition in Mannheim with his string quartet composition Der Rhein am Tomasee.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns and restrictions, our renovation project has been progressing in the recent months. Since our last report, we have completed all works related to the renovation of the outside elements of the monastery building.

The annual awards of KÓTA (Association of Hungarian Choirs, Orchestras and Folk Ensembles) were announced on 22 January, the Day of the Hungarian Culture. Among the awardees are a member of our research team and an alumna from Japan.

We are going to share with you some wonderful recordings prepared by our students for the Institute’s Christmas concert at the end of last year.
