history
After the German Music Council was founded in 1953 , the Schleswig-Holstein State Music Council emerged from a working group in 1978. During this period, other regional music councils were also founded, for example in North Rhine-Westphalia or Baden-Württemberg . The musicologist Wilhelm Pfannkuch was the founder and first president of the Schleswig-Holstein State Music Council. The first office was established in Flensburg at the end of the 1980s . With the beginning of its work there, the State Music Council also dealt with the jazz, pop and rock sectors. Before that he was mainly responsible for the classical music division. In the course of time, the State Music Council called various youth ensembles into life. Other projects that were gradually taken over by the State Music Council were the State Choir and State Orchestra Competition , the Nordland Chamber Music Course and Jugend musiziert . In 2001 the State Music Council moved to Kiel.
