Dr. Andor and Joy Kiszely Honors Recital

Location: Settlement Music School, Germantown Branch

Through many decades, Dr. Andor and Joy Kiszely were two of the most influential members of the Philadelphia Music Teachers Association. They each served multiple times as President, helped establish student festivals, and for many years chaired this annual auditioned recital that is now named in their honor.

Joy Miller Kiszely received her musical training at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Indiana University School of Music, and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. Dr. Andor Kiszely received his musical training at the Franz Liszt Royal Academy of Music in Budapest and the State Academy of Music in Vienna.

In 1967, the Kiszelys founded the Main Line Conservatory in Ardmore. Their work over five decades helped to raise the standards of excellence for our organization, and this recital is a fitting tribute to their legacy.
