The Kobzos Ensemble was founded in 2006 to perform mainly Hungarian spiritual songs with instrumental accompaniment at the beginning. Later, the repertoire of the Ensemble has increased gradually, thus by now, apart from spiritual concerts the following can also be found: folk music concerts from different regions, dance-workshops (so called ‘dance-houses’) for adults as well as children, different workshops for children and early music concerts whose sets are made up of the musical themes from mediaeval Europe. Because of the very varied programs, we play all our different programs in a different band line-up with excellent guest vocalists and musicians.
Our members have already been awarded different awards all and singular too, such as: 'Young Master of Folk Art Award', 'Bezeredj Award' of The Ministry of Cultural Heritage, 'Béla Bartók Prize', 'For the Hungarian Arts Award’ and 'Award for Home Defense', Liszt Ferenc Award.
