The Female Choir of the University of Miskolc

Hungary

The Female Choir of the University of Miskolc was founded in 1987 as the practice choir of the institution. It is an active participant in the city's music scene, and several radio recordings and performances in Hungary and abroad (including concerts and festivals) attest to its significant presence. Its a cappella repertoire spans from the Renaissance to the 21st century, and the choir often performs oratories. The choir master is Zoltán Sándor, a professor at the Music Faculty. The Choir first participated in an international competition in Fivizzano, Italy, in 2001, where it won first prize in both the categories of female choirs and church music. In 2002, the Choir also secured first prize in the category of unison choirs at the XX. Debrecen International Choir Competition. Since then, it has garnered numerous awards at various choir competitions across Europe.
