For our concerts, we try to make a wider selection of the Hungarian classical and contemporary choir pieces. We start with religious and secular works by Franz Liszt. A prominent piece is Patakcsa, a men's choir rarity for which the author wrote the following subtitle: First Hungarian male quartet. Then, we sing selections from choral works by Bela Bartok and Zoltan Kodaly. Next, we chose poems set to music and folk songs by Lajos Bárdos. In the second part of the concert we will perform pieces by Emil Petrovics, György Orbán, Otto Mészáros Balázs Horváth, and Levente Gyöngyösi.
