Launched in 1982, Radovljica Festival is the oldest early music festival in Slovenia. It regularly features internationally-renowned singers and instrumentalists, performing on period instruments and ensembles, such as Sequentia, Gothic Voices, Trio Mediaeval, the Rolf Lislevand Ensemble, Café Zimmermann, Sonatori della Gioiosa Marca, London Baroque and Ensemble Zefiro. The festival is a member of the European Early Music Network (REMA).

Concerts, new works and education

The Radovljica Festival features a wide scope of music, from reconstructions of performances from before the advent of musical notation through the most recent works of the 21st century.

Radovljica Festival also commissions some new works by Slovene composers. In 2010, for example, the new compositions by Nana Forte and Uroš Rojko were specially commissioned by the Radovljica Festival and premièred by Trio Quo Vadis: Uroš Rojko (clarinet), Klara Tomljanovič (guitar) and Luka Juhart (accordion).

Venues

Concerts are held at the Radovljica manor, on Linhart Square, in St Peter's Church as well as in the Annunciation Church at the nearby village Velesovo, which since 2007 treasures a high-quality organ built by the Močnik organ workshop (modelled on an instrument by Bach's friend and preferred builder Zacharias Hildebrandt). .
