The public competition Radio_Head Awards 2024 is announced by Slovak Radio (STVR) and is aimed at promoting Slovak musical works and their presentation to the wider public. The jury voting in the category Record of the Year / Classical Music consists of representatives of music journalists, promoters and editors of Radio_FM. The competition takes place in two rounds of voting (20 January - 14 February 2025 and 17 February - 9 March 2025) and the results will be published in a live broadcast of the awards on 28 March 2025 on radiohlavy.sk.
Both CD albums will be available for purchase in our e-shop once the technical problems associated with the transition to the Central Economic System are resolved, which we believe will be in the next few days.
