Established in 1950, the Hungarian Radio Choir boasts a versatile repertoire spanning classical choral music, from a cappella pieces to opera and oratorio, spanning the Renaissance to contemporary works.

Renowned for collaborations with eminent composers like Franz Liszt, Béla Bartók and György Ligeti, the choir has recorded over 80 albums and received a GRAMMY nomination for a 1997 CD with Sir Georg Solti and the Berlin Philharmonic. Honoured with the Bartók-Pásztory Award in 1985, the choir is a fixture at international festivals and iconic venues such as the Salzburg Festspiele and La Scala in Milan.

A regular participant in the Budapest Wagner Days since 2006, under Adam Fischer’s direction, the choir has collaborated with orchestras worldwide, working with luminaries such as Kurt Masur and Yehudi Menuhin.

Under the baton of principal conductor Zoltán Pad the choir continues to captivate audiences globally with its rich musical heritage.
