Organised byArsana Music Art Association

Since 2008 the Arsana Music Art Association organises the Arsana International Music Festival, which – together with the Art Stays, International Festival of Contemporary Art – represents the music part of the Art Ptuj Festival. Each year the Arsana International Music Festival brings many locally known as well as world renowned musicians of diverse musical backgrounds including folk, jazz and classical, to the many different music venues of Ptuj.

Performers

Among the musicians who have performed at this music festival are: violinist Stefan Milenković, pianist Chris Jarrett, and guitarist Miran Tadić, who, together with actor Rade Šerbedžija, presented songs from their new album Nine New Ones and Barbara [Devet novih in Barbara]. Each year the festival presents popular Slovene musicians and singers such as Mia Žnidarič and Maja Keuc and bands such as Terrafolk and Vox Arsana, as well as musicians from all over the world, giving them the opportunity to collaborate.

In 2012 the Arsana Music Art Association expands its musical endeavours as the city of Ptuj is a partner in the Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012 project. The Art Ptuj Festival will thus have the opportunity to host some cultural activities within this main European summer event.
