Aims of the festival
The events organised in the individual towns are done in co-production with the local producers. They take place at local heritage sites, thus helping to develop living, contemporary artistic expressions in the already culturally curious settings.
The most important goals of the project are the expansion of diverse artistic forms into smaller towns, the promotion of classical music, artists and performers and accessibility to cultural goods. That is also why the concerts have free admission.
Venues
The programme takes place at different places and has up until now encompassed about two dozen cities and towns around Slovenia (Bled, Dobrna, Kranjska gora, Maribor, Metlika, Nova Gorica, Piran, Ribnica, Škofja Loka, Velenje, Vipava, etc) and also abroad (Gorizia and Trieste in Italy, Bleiberg in Austria and Trieste, Szentgotthárd in Hungary; all of these places have a significant Slovenian population).
Some of the venues have been the Ribnica Castle, the Bela krajina Museum, the City Museum of Ljubljana, the Velenje Castle, the Ormož Castle, Loka Castle, the Kromberk Castle, the main square in Kranjska gora, the St. Jacobs Church in Ljubljana and a number of other churches, mansions amnd public squares.
Programme
The main bulk of the programme of the festival consists of classical music from different periods for various chamber groups, choirs or symphony orchestras. The festival has cooperated with literally thousands of artists both from Slovenia and abroad, so the Prokofiev Guitar Duo, Ljubljana Vocal Academy, Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra, the Accord Quartet (HU), the Harvard Din & Tonics (US), the Egyptian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra (EG), the Wolverhampton Youth Orchestra and the Wolverhampton Youth Wind Orchestra (UK), Coro Filarmonico Trentino (IT), the CREA Symphony Orchestra (DK), the City of Belfast Youth Orchestra (UK) and Trio Smetana (CZ) present a very limited overview.
Jazz and ethno now also play an important feature in the programme, which has hosted Katalena, Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra (ES), Jean Toussaint Four (US), Yasuto Ohara Super Jazz Trio (JP). The jazz programme is since 2009 run as a special category of the festival, called The Jazz Stage.
Four concerts from each season are recorded by Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia) and five by Radio Slovenia.
