Founded in 1975, Cantemus Children's Choir is a world-class choir of Kodály Zoltán Primary School in Nyíregyháza, which has won many international competitions. They tour regularly in many countries of Europe and the world, and are frequent participants and guests at festivals, competitions and international music conferences. Apart from European performances, they have sung with great success in Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, Venezuela and the United States of America.

The choral activities at Ljubljana Conservatory of Music and Ballet started progressing after composer and conductor Ambrož Čopi assumed leadership of the choir in 2010 , knowing how important and fulfilling it is for young musicians to sing in a choir, to discover the beauty of vocal music and the joy of singing together with others, feeling the energy and power of choral art and getting inspired for future work.

Kodály Choir Debrecen is an internationally renowned professional concert choir from Hungary. Founded by György Gulyás in 1955, the ensemble has been part of Kodály Philharmonia Debrecen since 2011. Its extremely broad repertoire, which includes the best of a cappella and oratorio literature, is particularly rich in contemporary music, with hundreds of premières to its name. As a highly accomplished interpreter of baroque and classical music, the choir also performs regularly with its sister orchestra, the Kodály Philharmonic, and as guest of other renowned orchestras both in Hungary and abroad. The ensemble's professional success has been recognised by prestigious musical awards, including the Bartók-Pásztory Prize and the Hungarian Heritage Prize. The choir, which collaborates with a whole range of outstanding choir masters and conductors, will be led by Zoltán Kocsis-Holper who has been its principal conductor since autumn 2020.
