SME repays interest-free loan
In 2016, the Swiss Society for New Music (SGNM) provided the Swiss Music Edition with an interest-free loan to finance its ongoing work in the meantime, thereby securing the association's liquidity. This interest-free loan has now been repaid in full by SME.
Thanks to the interest-free loan, the continued existence of the Swiss music database musinfo.ch is also guaranteed, writes SME-musinfo. Efforts to expand the platform and increase its relevance could have been intensified as part of a collaboration between SME and the Lucerne School of Music.
The university took over the musinfo.ch database at the beginning of the year and now manages it in cooperation with the SME. The musinfo.ch database was published on the Internet in 2004 and has contained information on the Swiss music scene ever since. Initially concentrating primarily on contemporary serious music, the platform now aims to provide a more comprehensive picture of the local music landscape.
