Everyone who heard the performers was deeply impressed by the women’s voices. The phrase most often heard was “angelic singing.” Below, we have a video from the concert and several photos for you.
Thanks to winning an international competition in the year it was founded, the Pro Musica girls’ choir is regarded as one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles. As ambassadors of the success of the Kodály method appearing around the world, the choir members perform not only at concerts but also as part of lectures and master classes on music education. The enthusiasm and experience gained by former pupils in the Cantemus children’s choir, operating at the Zoltán Kodály Primary School in Nyíregyháza, led to the founding of the Pro Musica ensemble in 1986. Since then, it has won first places and grand prix awards at the most significant choir competitions.
The choir’s repertoire covers a broad range of musical literature: alongside works by Bartók and Kodály, its programme includes outstanding choral works from the Renaissance and Romantic periods, as well as works by contemporary Hungarian composers. The choir’s name is also associated with the premieres of many works. The joint work of the Pro Musica ensemble and the Cantemus children’s choir was recognized with two major Hungarian awards: the Bartók-Pásztory Award in 1993 and the Merit for Hungarian Heritage award in 2004.
