Session
Modern Music, Digital Production and Management
Description
The establishment of the "Shkelzeni" Cultural Educational Organization, in Krumë i Hasit, respectively in the "Kosova" Prefecture, marks the first serious step in the presentation of Kosovo's music throughout the Albanian space. Through this paper, I will try to present the contribution of the students of the Kruma school to the spread of music in Albania, which spread was mainly made by the students of Kosovar families, whether those who moved from Kosovo or those who settled for economic reasons. The activity of this association was initially supported by Bajram Curri, Niman Ferizi, Ibrahim Fehmiu, Bajram Daklani, Azem e Shotë Galica and many other patriots. The "Shkelzeni" society had the same musical formation as the societies of the time in Shkodër and Korça, but the instrumentalists of this society were mainly students from Kosovo, who, upon returning to Kosovo, influenced the opening of musical societies in Kosovo and spread the musical culture and in particular spread the patriotic music with special emphasis on the national anthem. The orchestra of this society trained many instrumentalists of wind, string and other instruments. This society in the years 1923-1939 had shown over 100 musical programs throughout Albania and 90% of its members were students from Kosovo. The equipment of the orchestra of this society was made by Albanian patriots.
