ProprietorDirectorate for Arts, Ministry of Culture

Part of the Directorate for Arts, the Section for Music at the Ministry of Culture covers all genres of music creation including opera and ballet. The Section supports various manifestations of music culture, including concert series, concert tours, festivals, music publishing and archiving (notations and recordings). It stimulates music composition and choreography, opera, ballet, musical and cabaret production, and also aims to enrich national radio and television programmes and promote Slovene music creation internationally. Its support is implemented via public tenders or direct calls to cultural organisations that conceive programmes and projects.

While national public institutions such as the Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana - Opera and Ballet, Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Maribor (Opera and Ballet) and the Slovene Philharmonics respond to a direct open call with their annual programmes, the Ministry also publishes an open call every Autumn for three-year programme support in respect of high-quality projects by selected non-governmental non-profit organisations, including the most outstanding producers, promoters and music festival organisers. Grants are given to high-quality projects. Distinguished individuals can also get working stipends or support for their residencies abroad (including residencies at studios in New York or Berlin), and support is also given for seminars, workshops and competitions. A further open tender is also organised for NGO vocational training initiatives. Evaluation of programmes and projects applications is made by an expert jury for musical arts.
