The Official Service of Broadcasts, Performances, and Entertainment (Spanish: Servicio Oficial de Difusión, Representaciones y Espectáculos; styled Sodre) is a national cultural organization in Uruguay, controlled by the Ministry of Education and Culture.[2]

It was formerly the national broadcaster of Uruguay prior to the separation of Radiodifusión Nacional del Uruguay as a distinct agency in 2015. It is headquartered in 444 Peatonal Sarandí, Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo.[3]

History

[edit]

The Official Service of Broadcasts, Performances, and Entertainment was created as the "Official Radio Electric Broadcasting Service" on December 18, 1929 during the administration of President Juan Campisteguy Oxcoby.[4] The foundation was given after an initiative of the National Council of Administration, which sought to "spiritually improve" the inhabitants of the country, by transmitting artistic, scientific, illustrative shows or auditions.[5] The law that originated it established as the body's competence to "create schools and conservatories", "acquire and lease phonographic, theatrical, cinematographic, printed musical material or any other that is related to its activities", "edit catalogues, programs or other publications", "act individually or in ensembles in the shows or auditions that it performs or that it contributes to perform, as well as in the schools or conservatories that it institutes".[6] The first president of the agency was Francisco Ghigliani.[7]

On April 1, 1930, the official station, CX 6, began its regular transmissions, which had journalistic, cultural, sports, educational and broadcast programming from the agency's troupes.[8] Over time, the agency would acquire other radio stations, such as CX 38 and CX 26, which it managed until 2015.[9]

The company has made national and international tours, having performed in Spain, Italy, Oman, China, Thailand, Russia, Israel, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.[13]

The Youth Orchestra was launched in 2011, as a result of an alliance between Sodre and the Fundación Sistema de Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles del Uruguay.[18] Made up of more than 100 young musicians, it performs more than 50 concerts a year and has been awarded the National Award for Citizen Excellence on two occasions by the Latin American Development Center.[19]

It has made different international tours: Panama-United States (2013), —in which it gave a concert in the OAS Hall of the Americas in Washington D.C., in front of diplomatic and political authorities—, Germany-Spain-France (2014), United States-Mexico (2015), Spain-Italy (2017), Cuba-United States (2019).[20]
