The Kodály Quartet was formed by students from the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest in 1966. After some changes among the members, the Quartet made out its independent performing style based on the renowned Hungarian string quartet tradition.

The Quartet has toured in almost all European countries, the USA, Middle - and South - America, Far East, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard classical repertoire the Kodály Quartet regularly performs works written by Hungarian composers - Kodály, Bartók, Dohnányi and others - in its programme. The Quartet has recorded the complete Haydn and Beethoven string quartets, the Debussy and Ravel string quartets, and recently they are working on the Schubert cycle for the Naxos label.

In 1996 the orchester was awarded with Béla Bartók-Ditta Pásztory Prize, in 2022 with Kossuth Prize.
