JMI Slovenia, which includes the Ljubljana Musical Youth, is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and unites professional as well as non-professional musicians and music lovers with the aim of enriching cultural life. Foremost among its goals are: musical education of a younger audience and creating more opportunities for performances of young musicians which include interpretations of Slovene musical works with a view to preserving the national musical heritage.
Special attention is placed on the popularising of Slovene folk music through concerts organised by the JMI Slovenia which first presented it to the young audiences and paved its way to concert stages in Slovenia.
Many concert activities organized by JMI Slovenia are an opportunity for music students to present themselves to different audiences and give regular performances.
A more educational aspect of these concert activities is covered by symphonic matinees, offering a programme suggested by music teachers and taking into account the curriculum in primary and high school. The symphonic matinees take place in Cankarjev dom, where the Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra presents works of classical music composers, such as W. A. Mozart and J. Haydn, as well as a variety of educational musical compositions for pupils and students, such as The Carnival of Animals by C. Saint-Saëns and The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra by B. Britten. The concerts organised by JMI Slovenia also promote other musical genres, such as jazz, world music, ethno music, and works by contemporary Slovene composers.
The educational aspect of the organisation also includes the publication of a music magazine, the organisation of workshops, concerts with commentary and radio broadcasts. Since 1970 JMI Slovenia has been publishing a music magazine (in 1996 the Glasbena mladina (GL) magazine was renamed to Muska and in 2010 it was replaced by the Glasna Magazine).
Culture.si offers information on Slovene cultural producers, venues, festivals and support services, all in one place. It encourages international cultural exchange in the fields of arts, culture and heritage. The portal and its content is owned and funded by the Ministry of Culture, funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Plan and developed by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory.
