Organised each year in memory of the expressionistic composer Marij Kogoj (1892–1956), Kogoj’s Days is a high-quality festival of contemporary Slovene music, which takes place at different venues in the small picturesque town of Kanal ob Soči in western Slovenia.
Marijan Gabrijelčič initiated the festival in 1980, with Anton Nanut in the role of artistic director, a role he continues to fill today. In 2011 all of the free concerts took place in 6 different cities in western Slovenia and eastern Italy. Although the festival is dedicated to Kogoj, the festival includes a diverse programme of works by not only many internationally known Slovene artists such as Uroš Rojko, Lojze Lebič and Nana Forte but also works by Debussy, Mozart, Bach, Handel and others.
