The 28th International Kodály Symposium takes place in Cork, Ireland, from 4–8 August 2027, celebrating the enduring legacy of Zoltán Kodály.

Under the theme “Varied Cultures, Shared Experiences,” the Symposium will explore how Kodály’s philosophy continues to inspire across cultures, generations and traditions. From folk and classical to contemporary and world music, and from early childhood to lifelong learning, his ideas have resonated with communities around the world.

Join educators, conductors, performers and researchers from across the globe for five days of inspiring presentations, hands-on workshops, rehearsals, concerts and cultural experiences. Share ideas, discover new perspectives, make music and connect with a vibrant international community united by a passion for Kodály’s vision.

In Cork, we will celebrate the richness of the world's cultures, and the shared experiences that bring us together through music.
