In 1989, she was the founding conductor of the Budafoki William Byrd Singers - formed at the time from her former students and colleagues - and, still very active to this day. In 1992, she founded the St. Lipót schola, in Budafok, a liturgical choir - again, still going today. In 2022, after the death of its founder, dr.
