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.

Recently, with the participation of Erzsébet Szőnyi's grandchildren, Edit Alma Gémes and Ákos Tamás Gémes, and the director of the Institute, Dr. László Norbert Nemes, documents from Mrs Szőnyi’s legacy were officially handed over to the Archives of the Institute and the contract was signed.

The investment under the Modern Cities Program has been approved by a government decision recently.

During the course of the last two years, several outstanding faculty members stepped down from their positions as professors or research scholars at the Kodály Institute. 

By the beginning of September 2021, most of our students, who decided to come to Hungary despite all the challenges and difficulties posed by the pandemic, arrived in Kecskemét.
