Jazzagorje World Accordion Festival
Programme
At first, the festival was focused on encouraging young musicians and giving them the incentive to compose and perform their own music. It did also bring more renowned musicians, but only in recent years did the festival's programme gain a consistency in terms of musical vision and quality.
Some of the Slovene artists and ensembles that performed at Jazzgorje are Jure Tori, Ewald Oberlaitner, Kristina Oberžan Quartet, Čompe, Vasko Atanasovski, KvinTon, Orlek, Sedef, Chris Eckman and Jadranka Juras. Of the foreign guests, one can name Simonne Zanchinni and Renzo Ruggieri from Italy, Otto Lechner from Austria, Martin Lubenov from Bulgaria, Che Ensemble Argentino from Argentina and Renato Borgheti from Brazil.
