The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

Angelica Girls' Choir
Conductor: Zsuzsanna Gráf

Angelica Girls’ Choir were established under the leadership of Zsuzsanna Gráf, in the spirit of Kodály traditions and under the aegis of Kodályian teaching methods exactly 30 years ago. Since launching at the Városmajor Grammar School in 1989, they have proved to be a true success story with the ensemble growing into important players not only in Hungarian but international choral life. It would be impossible to list all the prizes, awards, honours and competition successes associated with Angelica Girls’ Choir and their leader. Their mission remains to preserve, nurture and take forward the Kodály-Bartók heritage, as well as to cultivate prevailing Hungarian contemporary music and perform its finest pieces in Hungary and around the globe. The programme of this jubilee recital hallmarks this creed in which we can enjoy marvellous music in an uplifting performance with the collaboration of superb and hugely popular instrumental soloists.
