The migrating festival called The ISCM World Music Days, which has been annually taking place all over the world since 1923, has its second stop in Slovenia in 2015 (the first one was in 2003). Organised by Society of Slovene Composers and The International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM), World Music Days 2015 showcases contemporary works by composers from all over the world, with the presented pieces based upon an open call, then chosen by an international jury and in the end programmed by the organisers. The festival is held in Ljubljana between 26 September 2015 to 2 October 2015 and predominantly takes place in the Slovene Philharmonic, and partly also in Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana, Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory and Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre.

The artistic director of the festival is the composer (and also pedagogue, publicist, artistic director and more) Pavel Mihelčič, who was also the driving force for Slovenia being chosen for the organisation of both 2003 and 2015 editions.


The final programme features RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, SToP Slovene Percussion Project, Slowind Quintet, Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra, Slovene Chamber Choir, Saxophone quartet 4saxess, Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra, MD7 Contemporary Music Ensemble, Dissonance quartet and numerous other musicians performing about 90 works by composers from all over the world.

The International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM)

ISCM, which was founded in 1922, is a network of organisations (more than 60 organizations from over 50 countries) dealing with the various strains of contemporary composed music, and acts as a forum for "the advancement, dissemination and interchange of new music from around the world", with the aim to strengthen "musical life in their local contexts and making their music and its creators known to world".

The World Music Days festival is the main vehicle for this, with the recent festivals held in Hong Kong, Lithuania, Sweden, Australia, Croatia and Belgium.

World Music Days 2003

The organisation of the first World Music Days in Slovenia goes back for almost another decade, with the organisation of the festival being granted in 1998. Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre was then an active co-producer throughout the process of preparing and enacting the festival, which lasted for 8 days and consisted of 40 separate events, besides concerts them also being film projections, exhibitions, musical installations, a symposium and a music fair. It took place all over Slovenia, in the cities and towns of Ljubljana, Maribor, Postojna, Portorož, Bled and some others as well.

Some of the artists involved were The Arditti String Quartet, Ensemble Modern from Köln, Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, The BBC Singers, Klangforum Wien (led by Vinko Globokar) and Irena Grafenauer.
