Index – Culture – Millions can fail those who do not know how the regime works

Initially, it is worth clarifying an important thing: the system of supporting national cultural funds (NKA) faces major changes. ZSOLT Bíró, a member of the Hungarian Publishing Protection Office Association, one of the decision makers at NKA College of Light Music, stressed that the music support areas have been classified into five housing groups so far:

• College of Cultural Festivals,
• Light Music College,
• Total Music Support Program,
• Bella Halmos College Program (Popular and World Music),
• Music College (classic music).

However, in the spring of 2025, the support system and some of the above mentioned will be reorganized under the College of New Performing Arts. It is separated inside this In support systems Dance artists, theater, music (classic music) and light music.

Total Music Music Support Program, which primarily promotes light music supply – including the joy of music! The tool is also the hand program that we talked about previously with Andrásik Remo – it will remain.

We do not know exactly what the expected applications are, but I am sure that the programs that were implemented by NKA in these different support areas for many years will continue to live

Zsolt Bíró says.

Old bike drivers, new creators

The expert said that so far, the Light Music College can provide creative support to create new light music, and have requested financial support to perform cross concerts, to organize light music camps and concerts. They also supported taking light music photos (such as videos), carrying out concerts in Hungary and light records of light music.

Within this, a number of requests were launched, among other matters, for financial support for international tours, performances, vocational cooperation, public relations chants, and participation in international show festivals, pre -band programs, guidance, or international support for musical bands.

The support program also includes financial support for home clubs and borders, which currently faces a number of difficulties due to sustainability and adaptation to the changing music medium – we have written in detail in our previous article.

Nevertheless, due to the transformation of the dormitory system The future is not sure at the present timeZSOLT Bíró confirmed that in 2024, the Faculty of Light Music in NKA was granted a total of 695 million HUF to 1117 applicants.

Special resource, shared responsibility

As one of the decision -makers of the NKA Faculty of Light Music College, the expert says that, in the event of artists, it is important to apply the previous professional profession and a Roman for training. It is also important to the audience that you can move, or when it comes to a narrower layer, the cultural value of the music you create is, and the duration you can reach in the cultural box in the event of a positive evaluation.

Zsolt Bíró emphasizes that smaller speakers may also have productions, but it is important to know that NKA rarely pays the entire budget instead of artists. Instead, they help the goal in the tender to some extent:

The National Cultural Fund does not want to be funded for a specific event or project, but it is a sponsor. It is good to have your own resources for the imagined project, which we can contribute to. Some applicants sometimes show some misunderstanding in this matter, as they believe that after their introduction, they will pay them all costs. This is also possible, but it is more typical-as our budget is limited-we can support it and contribute to a certain amount to implement the project.

According to the expert, the Cultural Fund primarily supports projects, not individuals. Consequently, the issue of the musician of the session or the performer who does not work as a company (has been invited only to a specific project, accompanies the well -known stars as an orchestra or help in their songs) has light music potential today.

Current invitations to support bid production itself. In many cases, either the leader who runs production, his business company, or its administration and its publisher, to obtain the National Cultural Fund to contribute to a project, and even a concert or record. Distribution within the project is no longer the NKA task

– ZSOLT Bíró Details of our question. The specialist adds:

“We can decide whether a specific production is valuable and important for the National Cultural Fund to support it. We have no direct saying on how to distribute wages and fees to musicians specifically.”

ZSOLT Bíró emphasizes that publishers, management and armed performance (Stars, Stars) are working with musicians who play an important role at this stage to give their colleagues to the stage and studio they need stable livelihoods.

As a member of the leadership of the ARTISJUS, ZSOLT Bíró emphasizes the presence of individual forms of support for musicians who will not be applied as production but have personal livelihood. In the event of a greater problem, you can provide such social support Artisjus The foundation and Law enforcement agency performance also.

Alternative

Performance not only depends on concert revenues but also have an opportunity to earn income from digital revenues and other negative revenues, now known from many places To be complementary Their monthly income. We have asked Anders Boderoji, a digital music expert, a representative of The State51 Consspirace.

According to the expert, the appearance and distribution of the area online has become essential and inevitable now, and young generations actively benefit in Hungary. There are a few priority artists who do not realize these systems, and big publishers know this field of profession without exception, because it will be a great loss in revenue if they do not adapt to the new systems.

The company that I represent deals with digital distribution. We are working to represent more representatives and publishers, optimally, on different interfaces over the Internet, thus reaching the highest possible revenues. There are groups and musicians who can generate millions of revenues on only one platform. For this, however

– Anders Boderoji details of our question.

Digital distribution companies, as perfectly, is a partnership with audio recording owners and various music platforms such as YouTube or Spotify. In this way, they can help posts and use all technologies that can guarantee the highest possible revenues in the afterlife life, from building posts to playlists.

András Bodrogi emphasizes that the speakers who do not have a background for companies or do not manage individual ownership currently in a difficult situation, because they are primarily a legal person who contradicts digital distribution companies.

It was also highlighted by László Gyimesi, head of the Law Ensemble, and Representatives of Record Gold Record and Astro Music, one of the main difficult factors in the current financial situation of musicians. Although Kata was not perfect, there is currently no form of taxes in Hungary that is specially adapted to the hectic revenues of musicians and performance artists, which was a major problem in local light music for years.

For many years, we were trying to re -reinforce this type of portfolio, which was almost fully worn out of the Hungarian public press. Many internal employees in the newspaper and the most prominent local writers have taken the historical task to love this wonderful type again.
