Due to the cancellation of the 31st International Kodály Seminar in 2020, the issuing of the Bacon-Erdei Scholarship has also been cancelled.
In order to remind everyone of the original intention and to avail interested US citizens of the advantages of this unique opportunity, we open the Scholarship once again. Those who applied in 2020 should – in case of interest – submit their application again.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1st International Kodály Seminar (1970) in Kecskemét,
and to commemorate the centenary of the birth of the American pianist and music educator, co-founder of the Kodály Musical Trainig Institute (1969) and founder of the Kodály Center of America (1977) in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Ms. Denise Bacon,
