Launched in 1982, Radovljica Festival is the oldest early music festival in Slovenia. It regularly features internationally-renowned vocalists, instrumental soloists performing on original instruments and ensembles such as the Fitzwilliam String Quartet, Le concert Français, Quartetto Amsterdam, Salzburger Hofmusik and Piccolo Teatro Espresso Wurzburg, interpreting old musical scores.


Concerts and workshops

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.

The 2010 edition of the festival presents Slovene musicians (Barbara Koželj and musica cubiculari, Trio Quo Vadis) as well as international groups Le Concert Brisé, The Harp Consort (Guernsay), Amphion Wind Octet, John Potter and Ariel Abramovich, La Colombina, Pino De Vittorio Ensemble, the project Mahler Plays Mahler. The festival closes with Benjamin Bagby's performance of the the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf.

On 18 August 2010 the festival hosts John Potter, a singer, author and vocal coach, who held the lecture Singing Early Music in the 21st Century and led a workshop for singers and vocal ensembles.

International networking

The Radovljica Festival is a member of the European Early Music Network (REMA).

Venues

Concerts are staged at the Radovljica manor, 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 at the Močnik organ workshop (modelled on an instrument by Bach's friend and preferred builder Zacharias Hildebrandt).

A free bus is organised for visitors coming from Ljubljana and Kranj.
