Nikolett Hajós

She started singing in various choirs at elementary school and specialised in music at the Városmajori Grammar School and engaged in 10 hard-working years with the secondary school's Angelica Girls Choir. She graduated as a music and piano teacher and a choral conductor from the Teachers' Training College of ELTE, and became involved in chamber singing with the Dowland Ensemble. She took a course and graduated as an artistic manager also. Not counting a few short breaks, she has been a permanent member of Discantus since the very start. Her singing years have been marked by several concerts around Europe and Japan, participation in master classes, CD recordings, several competition and first prizes. Presently she has a job with a healthcare company, and while music remains only a passion, it assumes a powerful part of her life.
