Established in 1985, the Slovene Music Days programme combines an international musicological symposium and concerts of contemporary Slovene music. Each year, the international musicological symposium led by Jernej Weiss (1985–2015 by Primož Kuret) brings together about 30 musicologists from all over Europe to discuss a different topic. Part of the symposium has been dedicated to examining and studying the works and lives of Slovenian composers. The concert part begins and ends with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra and the Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra.
Turjak Castle is located in the village of the same name approximately 20 kilometers from Ljubljana. It was first mentioned in written records in 1220 but was probably built even earlier, in the 10th or 11th century. It acquired its present-time appearance after an earthquake in 1511. It features the largest round bastion in Slovenia and a distinctive Renaissance defensive corridor in the shape of a triangle. The castle underwent a major renovation, initiated by the Ministry of Culture, between 2024 and 2026.
