The Csokonai Vitéz Mihály prize winner Budapest Lantos Choir’s predecessor was established in 1950, then continued as Budapest Youth Choir from 1990. In 2017, the choir took the ‘Lantos’ name in honour of their founder, Rezső Lantos, who was a Liszt-award winner conductor. Their current conductor is Zoltán Németh since June 2025. Their repertoire includes religious masses, oratories and a cappella works, many dedicated specifically to the choir or conductor by the composers. Throughout its long history, the choir has participated in several festivals and competitions with great success. They have also contributed to many CD recordings as well as have published some of their own recordings.
