The choir of Zoltán Kodály Secondary Grammar School has a rich history and plays a central role in the school’s cultural life, upholding Hungarian choral traditions. Originally founded and directed by Csaba Balogh, the choir gained recognition both domestically and internationally. After a period of inactivity, the choir was revived in 1981 under the guidance of conductor Mónika Józsa, who led it until 1994. Nearly 30 years later, Sára Kempski—a former student of the school—stepped in to lead the choir while still a secondary student herself. With her youthful energy and enthusiasm, she has since brought new life to the group, which she now conducts as a student at VŠMU. The choir’s rehearsals, inspired by Kodály’s legacy, offer students not only the joy of music but also a deep connection to Hungarian cultural heritage.
Sára Kempski is a young conductor whose passion for music was nurtured from childhood, viewing it as a legacy from her father. After graduating from secondary school, she was accepted into the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava (VŠMU), where she now studies choral conducting. Sára has led her high school choir for three years and also works with children's and adult choirs. For her, it's important that each choir member finds comfort and peace in music. When conducting, she experiences moments where the world seems to quiet down, free from deadlines, responsibilities, and modern technology. Her goal with the Kodály choir is to support music education, which she feels has been undervalued in her country. She believes that music teaches us many things and compares choir singing to the work of bees in a hive—small yet indispensable, with a profound impact on the world.
