Aims of the festival
Summer festivals in individual towns are enriched by events that relate to local heritage sites or objects, which help to develop cultural life as well as the image of towns and regions. Local organisers also help with the organisation.
The most important goals of the project are the expansion of high quality art in smaller towns, the promotion of classical music, artists and performers, the establishment of an intercultural dialogue and accessibility to cultural goods. That is also why the concerts have free admission.
Programme
Imago Sloveniae is a well known quality brand. Its programme consists of classical music from different periods for various chamber groups, choirs or symphony orchestras. In previous years the festival cooperated with artists from Slovenia and abroad such as the Prokofjev Guitar Duo, Ljubljana Vocal Academy, Katalena, Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra, and also the Accord Quartet (Hungary), the Harvard Din & Tonics (USA), the Egyptian Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra (Egypt), the Wolverhampton Youth Orchestra and the Wolverhampton Youth Wind Orchestra (UK), the CREA Symphony Orchestra (Denmark) and the City of Belfast Youth Orchestra (UK).
Four concerts from each season are recorded by Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia) and five by Radio Slovenia.
