Cataloging the Bulgarian Musical Heritage Project
18 November 2024

The project was approved at the BMA General Assembly on September 13, 2018 with coordinator Vasil Gyurov, who formed a working group that held a number of meetings to develop standards and search criteria in the catalogue. The concept of the project received the approval of BMA members who actively got involved, providing audio files with detailed descriptions and settled rights with MusicAutor and PROPHON. To facilitate the processing of these files, an administrative system was developed that allows the entry of as much detailed information as possible for each track through tags and an additional text file with information. Currently, the collected musical works in the catalog are stored in the archive of the BMA.

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.
