The Composers Association of Macedonia, as an organisation that
unites Macedonian composers and musicologists, gives the following
awards: ‘T. Prokopiev’ – lifetime achievement award; ‘Pance Pešev’ – life-
time achievement award; ‘T. Prokopiev’ – award for the best premiere per-
formance of a work by a Macedonian author in the previous year; ‘Georgi
Božikov’ – award for the best performance of a work by a Macedonian au-
thor in the previous year by ensembles or musical artists; and ‘Virtuosi’ –
award for the most successful musical or ballet artists.
Based on an analysis of the Composers Association of Macedonia’s ac-
tivities over the past eight decades, we can see that Macedonian compos-
ers – as members of this association – have overcome numerous challenges
and problems and have constantly strived, through a combination of pro-
fessionalism and national pride, to unite, protect, present and promote the
cultural and spiritual values of Macedonian musical creation. Specifical-
ly, through its activities and actions, the Composers Association of Mace-
donia has enabled Macedonian musical creativity to live and be created in
continuity, as a tradition, and a testimony to past, present and future times.
