The Cantemus Children’s Choir (founded in 1975 by Dénes Szabó) is the multi international prize winning senior pupils’ choir of the odály Zoltán Primary School in Nyiregyháza, Hungary. Since its formation in 1975 the choir has achieved the highest of standards in choral performance and has travelled extensively to give concerts, compete, and take part in festivals in countries throughout Europe and the rest of the world – including Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, South America and the United States of America.
A kórus sikereit a Kodály zenepedagógiai módszer elvei alapozzák meg, amelyet Szabó Dénes vezetésével valósítanak meg, aki az iskola felső tagozatos gyermekeit tanítja zenére, vezényli és irányítja a kórust, valamint a Cantemus Kórusintézet igazgatója.
The choir’s extensive repertoire is focussed on the the beauty of choral music – ranging from Gregorian chant through the Renaissance and Romantic periods to contemporary works. Some of the Hungarian repertoire is based on traditional folk music – including works by Bartók and Kodály – and some have been written especially with the choir in mind by leading contemporary Hungarian composers. As such the choir has become a standard bearer for both traditional and contemporary Hungarian music.
