They gave concert tours in the United States in 1998 and in 2000, when the choir represented Hungary and Europe in the Symposium of the Choir Association of North America. In France they performed in the Notre Dame, as well as in the Cathedral of Évry, as part of the events of the Hungarian Cultural Festival. Both concerts were broadcast by the French Radio.
