See the music

The #SeeMusic section of the Bulgarian Music Association presents Bulgarian music performers and artists from all genres since 2017. Through it, we give the opportunity to music critics, journalists and artists with an affinity for writing to present the wealth and variety of the Bulgarian music. You will meet the artists who not only established themselves on the native stage, but also went beyond it, promoting Bulgarian music in Europe and around the world.

#SeeMusic is a platform for new discoveries – young talents, innovative fusion collaborations and significant names in contemporary Bulgarian music.

The section was realized with the financial support of the Culture National Fund, program “Criticism”.

Mobile application

The “Musical Guide to Stage Spaces in Bulgaria” is the result of the two-year project for wide-ranging mapping of the music sector in the country, which the BMA launched in 2020 as part of its sectoral initiatives. The aim of the project is to improve information provision and support the development of effective cultural policies and financing mechanisms.

The application is open to all stage spaces in Bulgaria, offering easy and quick access to an extensive array of data. This enables artists-performers to plan their activities without wasting time on additional research, making the process more efficient and easy.

We believe that this product will be of great benefit not only to the music sector, but also to all other performing arts, helping to facilitate their integration and development in the cultural scene of Bulgaria.

The app will be free for download at the end of January 2025.
