The presentation of this project was held on 15 March in the institute’s Great Hall, in the presence of numerous respected musicologists and representatives of major media companies.

Dr Bruno Kragić, the director general of the Institute of Lexicography, greeted all present and expressed his satisfaction that the Institute’s publications are available in the international repertoire of music encyclopedias.

Dr Filip Hameršak, director of the Institute of Lexicography, pointed out that the Institute has been publishing online as well as digitised classic editions for more than fifteen years, based on the principle of open access through the Institute’s portal.
