history

The Music Centre is a State-subsidised institution established by the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic.

Its mission is

• to encourage Slovak music culture by organising concerts,
• bringing pieces of Slovak composers to the stages,
• publishing sheet music and music books,
• documenting the music life in Slovakia
• and promoting Slovak music culture abroad.

The origins of a State institution involved in organising music life in Slovakia go back to 1969 ...

In 1997, it was integrated in the National Music Centre, while in 1999 the Slovkoncert was turned into the Music Centre consisting of four departments:

• documentation,
• publishing,
• external relations
• and economy.
