The concert series coincides with the weeklong international symposium, where world-renowned musicians, educators and clinicians gather for presentations and lectures on music education within the Kodály philosophy. Participants study music from Australia, Canada, England, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hungary and France with interpreters who specialize in the music of these cultures.

The Kodály Institute at Capital was established in 1980 by Capital graduate Gregory Von Stein, class of 1977, and music education professor Sandra Mathias.
