We have the winners of this year’s Music Support Program
Debrecen County Municipality announced its Music Support Program for the second time, as a result of which it was held on Wednesday afternoon at the Campus Festival.
It was announced at the press conference that the aim of the tender is to complement the current national support systems and to provide financial assistance to talented amateur musicians in Debrecen, taking into account their shortcomings.
I want to help bands
At the event, deputy mayor István Puskás said that the light music program started in Debrecen two years ago. In March of this year, several Made in Debrecen Festivals were organized, at which more than 100 local bands performed in eight locations, and the event moved the entire city, attracting thousands of visitors.
– Next year, rock music in Brecen will be 60 years old, which perfectly shows the great traditions of light music in the city, but it is not necessary to argue that it will be at the Campus Festival. Last year, we decided that a support program would help bands starting their careers take their first steps.
It’s time for the second round, now with just a symbolic handshake we hand over the scholarship to the Kertekalatt band and through them to all the local bands who won this year
István Puskás said. He added that they want to help the construction of the bands with the scholarship.
A total of 51 applications were received for the call, of which 25 were approved. The Music Support Program will continue in the future, thereby helping the popular music scene in Debrecen.
