Festival Ljubljana

Ljubljana Festival every year continues its mission – organising cultural events on a high artistic level. Between July 6 and August 27 2009 we joined several operas, musicals and many concerts of chamber and symphony orchestras under the trademark The Ljubljana Festival 2009. Beside the Summer Festival's events, the Ljubljana Festival every year prepares or takes part in the preparation of many other events which significantly contribute to the cultural atmosphere in the capital. Among these, the Slovenian Musical Days should be mentioned; organized in the spring, they are divided into two parts: in the concert part pieces by Slovenian composers are performed while the symposium part gathers acknowledged musicologists from all over Europe. The Slovenian Musical Days are accompanied by round tables, exhibitions, book presentations, etc. For many years Festival Ljubljana has been preparing a musical cycle called the Young Virtuosi where young Slovenian musicians are presented, mostly winners of the National Young Musicians Contest. The concerts are prepared in collaboration with the national RTV station, which records the performances, thus contributing to the young musicians' recognition.
