Bled Festival is managed by Kranjska Artists Support Society which organises annual international music competitions. In addition to offering financial prizes, an international jury awards the best competitors. Concerts take place at various venues, including Bled Festival Hall, the church on Bled Island and Radovljica Manor House.
Programme
The festival took off in 1995 and is dedicated mainly to chamber music. In the last decade more concerts have begun to include crossover genres, especially jazz, and a special concert, Night of Slovene Composers, is organised by the Society of Slovene Composers and features new music by the contemporary Slovene composers. From 2011 the programme has been enriched with dance performances.
All the concerts are connected with the international master classes and competition. In the last years awards have been given in the categories of violin, viola, and chamber music.
