All the festival venues are part of Slovenia's architectural and cultural heritage, mostly castles and churches. As the festival highly respects decentralisation and regionalisation of the cultural politics, its activities cover almost all Slovenia – the events (within the 2010 programme) out of Dolenjska and Posavje, which have together comprised the main region of the festival since the very beginning, are also presented in Gornji Grad, Hrastovlje, Hoče, Koper, Ljubljana, Maribor, Moravske Toplice, Murska Sobota, Ptuj, Slovenj Gradec, Solčava, Šmarje pri Jelšah, Trbovlje, Trzin, Velenje, and Žalec.
The main objective of the festival is to promote the revival of the Early Music scene in Slovenia. Other aims included stimulating cultural tourism, developing Early Music departments at Slovene conservatories and the Academy of Music, contributing to a higher level of professional music, and forming a European artistic, educational, and research centre for Early Music.
The programme is aimed specifically at the public but also enjoys a notable reputation amongst professional music critics and audiences. Radio Slovenia records selected concerts of the Festival and since 1997 has also presented festival recordings throughout the year (Banchetto Musicale: Brežice after Brežice). One or two concerts a year are recorded for Slovenia's national television station.
Besides hundreds of prominent individual artists, the festival has since its beginning presented world recognised ensembles, such as: Accademia di Musica Antica Bolzano (IT); Accademia Daniel Israel (IL); Adel Singers (NO); Akademia Muzyczna w Krakowie (PL); Arcana ensemble (IT); Ars Antiqua Austria (AT); Capella Savaria (HU); Collegium Marianum (CZ); Dialogos (FR); Ensemble Cantilena Antiqua (IT); European Union Baroque Orchestra (GB); Helsinki Baroque Orchestra (FI); Het Barokorkest van het Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag (NL); Hrvatski barokni ansambl (HR); I Solisti di Cremona (IT); Komorni zbor RTV Slovenija (SI); La Stagione Frankfurt (DE); London Baroque (GB); Melande Amsterdam (NL); Musica Antiqua Köln (DE); Musica Antiqua Russica (RU); Stockholm Antiqua (SE); The Purcell Quartett (GB); Zarabanda (ES), etc.
The festival regularly provides quite generous discounts on ticket prices (for students; people with low-income; families; members of various Slovene societies and associations; ticket-holders to other festivals such as Ljubljana Festival, Primorska Summer Festival, Tartini Festival and Lent Festival). There is also affordable bus transportation available on the Festibus, departing from the very centre of Ljubljana and returning after each event. All the events taking place at church locations have free admission.
Every concert is enriched by superb wine tastings and the occasional special event.
Since its inception in the 1980s the festival has incorporated international cultural elements that are still quite relevant today. Until 2008 the festival was organised in partnership with a national partner; previous partner countries were: Great Britain (2000); the Netherlands (2001); the Czech Republic (2002); the European Union (2003); the Netherlands (2004); France (2005 and 2008); Italy (2006); and Spain (2007). The festival continues to cooperate with different European countries and their embassies.
The festival is also a member of REMA (Réseau Européen de Musique Ancienne), the European Early Music Network. Radio Slovenia regularly exchanges festival recordings via the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). Several festival editions are available also on CDs.

It encourages international cultural exchange in the fields of arts, culture and heritage.
