Nepal Music Centre (NMC) was formed in 2005 with the aim of strengthening and stimulating the music arena in Nepal and with music education as a special area of focus. The Centre now houses Nepal’s first formal music school for children and youth, as well as a library and research centre for the preservation of traditional music. The NMC organises annual exchange programmes between Norway and Nepal, and also between other countries in the southern hemisphere. In addition, it digitalises, distributes and internationalises different types of Nepalese music.

In 2006 the Norwegian Concert Institute entered into an agreement with the University of Agder (UiA) on the development of the musical and administrative capacities of the Nepal Music Centre (NMC). As part of the promotion of competence enhancement and institution building, the UiA has offered its BA students practice places in Nepal and has served as host for Nepalese musicians and administrators from NMC.
