Profession “Folkore Musician”
18 November 2024
Current projects

In April 2022 BMA launched the project “Profession “Folkore Musician”, which focuses on the problems of professional folk ensembles and the need to support this sector. Through meetings with heads of ensembles and cultural institutions, an analysis was made of the state of the profession and the opportunities for the development of folklore art in Bulgaria.

Based on these studies specific changes in the cultural policy were proposed by BMA, which were sent to the Ministry of Culture. During the first year of the project, meetings were also held with representatives of the Culture and Media Commission for additional funding of the folklore ensembles.

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.
