Kodály 132 A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Zoltán Kodály was an exemplary public figure of undisputed significance in the 20th century. He gained his diploma in composition at the Liszt Academy and in 1919 was appointed deputy director of the Academy. He continued teaching folk music there after his retirement. His alma mater pays tribute to the memory of the maestro in a traditional concert on the anniversary of his birthday. In the first half, three youth choruses rejuvenating and passing on the Kodály spirit perform a selection of Kodály choral pieces, and after the intermission it will be the turn of Psalmus Hungaricus (1923), one of his most important works, composed on the 50th anniversary of the unification of Buda, Pest and Óbuda.
