All lessons, lectures and courses will be held in English.
The biannual Kodály Seminar is announcing its upcoming season with a new pedagogical course in Kodály-based music education, a choral conducting master class and a newly designed Kodály Summer Academy (KSA) for instrumentalists.

The Kodály Art Festival offers a wide range of engaging concerts, enriched by the master classes, exhibitions and workshops. During the two weeks of the programme, participants and audiences alike step into an intimate world replete with musical energy and creative activity, a world in which classical music expresses its power to unite body and soul.
Active participants of the choral conducting master class will have an opportunity to conduct at the final concert of the course while participants of the Kodály Summer Academy will have the chance to perform in the capital of Hungary, Budapest, in one of three different concert venues like the Kodály Memorial Museum, the Bartók Memorial House and the Franz Liszt Museum.
