Programme
Under its wing, individual sections take care of different music genres: these range from the Section for Church Music (1999), the Young Composers’ Club (2000), the Section for Jazz and Popular Music (2001) and the Section for Choral Music (2001) to the Section for Music in Teaching (2002) and the Section for Electro-acoustic Music (2002).
Since 1965 concerts at the Society's Concert Atelier have offered first-class world premieres of new works by Slovene composers. To date there have been 304 concert performances, many in conjunction with exhibitions of work by Slovene painters and sculptors.
To date the Society's record label DSS Edition has released 1,700 works by Slovene composers on CD or cassette, emerging as an important resource for Slovene contemporary classical music.
Every year the Society commissions a number of new works, which are subsidised by the Ministry of Culture. This is a most important effort, as it aims to conserve the quality of Slovene music and to affirm its reputation both at home and abroad.
Projects
From 1989-1998 an annual concert called the Night of Slovene Composers was organised by the Society. In 1998 this event became part of the Slovene Music Days, arranged by Festival Ljubljana. The concert provides an opportunity for all members of the Society to present their new works in public. The Society also participates in Musica Danubiana, a festival of music by composers from countries through which the river Danube flows, namely Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, Romania and Slovenia.
International cooperation
Since 1972 the Society has acted as the Slovene representative for the following European music publishers: Editio Musica (Budapest), Edition Peters (Frankfurt), Breitkopf & Härtel (Wiesbaden), Schott Music International (Mainz), Universal Edition (Vienna) and Boosey & Hawkes (London). The Society is also the official representative for all loans of scores and material from the above-mentioned publishing houses for the whole of Slovenia.
The Society's involvement in exchanging information on international level and the participation of its members at international festivals, symposiums, congresses and music trade fairs the world over is significant.
