Hungary boasts long traditions of fine choral singing and training - especially through the pioneering work of composer-educationists such as Kod谩ly. The choral repertoire in this part of Eastern Europe is highly-developed too and in this concert James Morgan pilots the 大象传媒 Singers through a concert giving a bird's-eye-view of this fascinating but - in England - seldom-heard music, with choral works by Kod谩ly, Bart贸k, Ligeti and lesser-known composers such Levente Gy枚ngy枚si and Mikl贸s Kocs谩r.
This early-evening concert precedes the Dukas, Bart贸k and Bright Sheng 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra concert in the Barbican Hall on the same evening.
