The Coexistence of the Social, the Professional and the Artistic in the History of the Society of Slovene ComposersKralj, Sonja (Avtor) Society of Slovene ComposerspublishingconcertscopyrightUnion of Yugoslav ComposersThe article provides a concise overview of the doctoral thesis defended under the same title. It elucidates the importance of the Society of Slovene Composers for the preservation of Slovenian musical identity and for the promotion of musical creativity. Furthermore, it illuminates its function in addressing the statutory needs of its members. The core activities of Society are higlighted through the prism of historical circumstances that influenced its cooperation with musical institutions, related associations in the former Yugoslavia, partners in Slovenia and on the international stage, and the nature of its interdependance with the Union of Yugoslav Composers. The fulfilment of its mission delienates through the presentation of tangible initiatives in the domains of music publishing, concert activity, the promotion of new musical compositions, the dissemination of sheet music, copyright protection and international collaboration within the context of the disparate periods of Yugoslav and Slovenian cultural poli(tics)cies. A concise overview of the activities of the Society of Slovene Composers since its establishment at the end of 1945 provides an attempt to outline the programmatic and institutional efforts of its members, with a complementary examination of the influences of social, cultural, political, and institutional factors that have guided and determined its activities, as well as the cultural-political trajectories of the organisation, which in some periods of its history has gone beyond merely satisfying the statutory needs of its members and has taken its place among the most significant actors of Slovenian musical life, cultural policy and musical identity.Založba Univerze na Primorskem in Festival Ljubljana20262026-03-10 08:23:19Delo ni kategorizirano22746sl
