Later the choir became an independent mixed choir in P\u00e9cs called Mecsek Choir.\u00a0In the past decades, they have achieved national and international success promoting the legendary \u201cchoir movement\u201d in P\u00e9cs. The success of the choir is associated with the work of five outstanding choir masters: first, Dr. J\u00f3zsef Hegyi (1957- 1965), followed by Aur\u00e9l Tillai (1965-1987), Ern\u0151 Nagy (1987-2001), and Attila Kert\u00e9sz (2001-2015). Since 2016, S\u00e1ndor Balatoni, junior Prima Prize winner choir master and organ artist, has overseen the choir.<\/p>\n<p>The main goal of Mecsek Choir is to present to the audience a wide range of Hungarian and international choir pieces. Their repertoire includes choir music from various periods such as religious, secular, acapella, and oratory music. They have participated in numerous national and international choral contests.<\/p>\n<p>They have won several first prizes and special prizes and gained professional recognition at international contests. \u00a0In 2010, the choir actively participated in the P\u00e9cs2010 European Cultural Capital Programme series as well as in the opening ceremony of Kod\u00e1ly Music Hall. Recently, they have participated in several orchestra concerts. They regularly organise and give festive and jubilee concerts \u2013 often in collaboration of with Pannon Philharmonic Orchestra and other P\u00e9cs based choirs, as well as Kapos Choir and Lipa Choir from Esz\u00e9k (in Croatia).<\/p>\n<p>Mecsek Women\u2019s Choir including the female members of Mecsek Choir was established by Attila Kert\u00e9sz in 2001, adding a repertoire of women\u2019s choir music to the repertoire of Mecsek Choir.<\/p>\n<p>Mecsek Choir is a closely-knit community of mostly young singers whose dedication to singing takes them to two-hour-long choir rehearsals twice a week besides their daily jobs and other engagements. It is a great community to belong to<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n        <div class=\"downloads\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/app\/uploads\/2021\/09\/mecsek-korus-hatarozat.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"file\" download>\n            <em class=\"icon-file\"><\/em>\n            <span>\n            <span class=\"filename\">Cultural Heritage- 4\/2019 (V.29.)<\/span>\n            <span class=\"filesize\">21.9 KB<\/span>\n          <\/span>\n          <\/a>\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":5951,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1566,1847,1850],"tags":[],"usertype":[52],"class_list":["post-27140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-our-values-culture-en","category-pecs-values","category-respiratory-of-values","usertype-local","post-variant","post-variant--saffron"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-28 04:13:30","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27140"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33069,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27140\/revisions\/33069"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27140"},{"taxonomy":"usertype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pecs.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertype?post=27140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
