The Viva Voce Choir was formed in 1995. Their repertoire consists primarily of Western European – Italian, Franco-Flemish, English, Spanish, French – vocal polyphonic pieces from the Renaissance, along with choral works from the 20th century. They often interpret sacred choral music from Gregorian chant to contemporary pieces.
The choir has performed many concerts around Hungary and Transylvania, and they have participated in choir competitions and festivals in Hungary (Budapest) and in the Czech Republic (Olomouc and Prague).
Balázs Csernyik was born in 1976. He has been the conductor of the choir since 2003. He graduated in choir conducting (1999) and church music (2003) at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest.
