Its programme is sometimes knit around a concept, like when it focused on accordion in 2012, staging its various applications in a variety of musical forms (this featured Simone Zanchini (IT), Miodrag Spasić (RS), Rhythm & Blues Resistance (HR), Bratko Bibič & The Madleys, Janez Dovč, Jure Tori and some others).
