Recognition of his efforts and talents were bountiful and richly deserved... On the thirtieth year of Korda's presence on the music scene, he was awarded the 1978 Johann Statuette; the Johann Strauss Award, by the Viennese Cultural Society.  In 1984, the Monseigneur Strings were honored to perform the opening & closing International receptions at the Summer Olympics, held in Los Angeles.  And on the east coast, he was guest violin soloist with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra for their fiftieth Anniversary Pops Concert. In 1989, December 16th was officially proclaimed "Murray Korda Day" by the City of Los Angeles, in recognition of his over forty years of outstanding musical contributions to the City's cultural life.  Korda had been decorated by the King of Sweden & the Government of Mexico. The City Council of Los Angeles recently presented him with an award acknowledging his 50 years of music.  A star on the Walk of Fame in Palm Springs, California was dedicated in his honor, in November of 1998.  The Government of Austria was to bestow upon him the Order of the Silver Cross, the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a non-Austrian citizen.

His arrangements and performances have earned the plaudits of such musical greats as Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Fiedler, Ferde Grofe and Zubin Mehta, while contemporary pop artists Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and John Denver were among his ardent admirers.
