Slovenský národný jazzový orchester: 100 rokov Slovenského rozhlasu

The musical history of Slovak radio will come to life in a performance by a contemporary big band.

The Slovak National Jazz Orchestra will present a special concert to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of regular radio broadcasting in Slovakia. On Tuesday 10 November at 7.00 pm, the V-Club in Bratislava will host a concert featuring music that bridges the legacy of former radio orchestras with contemporary Slovak jazz.

The programme will also include selected pieces from the archive repertoire of orchestras that performed on the radio in the past. Slovak Radio has provided the SNJO with sheet music from its archive, enabling the concert to feature examples of older orchestral works. Alongside these, original music and new arrangements will be performed by the 18-piece Slovak National Jazz Orchestra.

Regular radio broadcasting in Slovakia began on 3 August 1926 from Bratislava.
The anniversary concert will commemorate this century-long tradition through the lens of big band music and will bring together the musical past with contemporary orchestral jazz compositions.

The Slovak National Jazz Orchestra brings together leading Slovak jazz performers with musicians from abroad. During the 2026/2027 season, it will present ten concert programmes in Bratislava.
