Capella Silentium was founded in 2009 with the aim of exploring the forgotten beauty of a cappella choir literature, and to bring alive its various eras and styles. Capella Silentium is one of the few a cappella vocal ensembles with individual and scarce profile: its programs are thematic, focusing on a special era or phenomenon of the history of music. Its repertoire comprises music from the early renaissance polyphony to contemporary music, and not specialized on one era or style. In 2010 in Vienna, the choir attained the special prize for the best performance of the obligatory musical piece on the Schubert Choir Competition, where they were also qualified for the round of the best choirs. In 2012, they finished second in mixed choir category in Rimini, and they were awarded the special prize for the best chamber choir.

Balázs Ferenc Csernyik graduated in Music Education, Choral Conducting and Church Music from Franz Liszt Academy of Music.
Mátyás Mészáros joined the choir in 2013 as a singer. He is studying Choral Conducting at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest.
They both have been the conductors of the choir since 2016.
