Programme
In the course of the Slovenian Music Week there are workshops, lectures and discussions set up, elaborating on subjects such as publishing trends, music journalism, copyrights, PR strategies and other similar topics of interest for its general and specialised public. Gathering a multitude of music scene protagonists, the festival also aims to generate an atmosphere for socialising, communicating knowledge and establishing contacts, thus positively integrating the creative forces within the scene.
Concerts and partnerships
The second aspect of the festival are the concerts. In the months preceding the festival, there is a public call made for musicians to apply, presenting a selection of their work to the expert international committee. This committee chooses a selection of artists who first perform at the festival, but then also gain an opportunity to play on the festivals of partner organisations (whose representatives actually form the committee) and also get extensive media coverage and promotion in the media of the festival hosting countries.
In 2012, these festivals are Waves Vienna, Sziget festival, Exit festival and Terraneo festival. They have selected the bands London, Toronto Drug Bust, and Dandelion Children.
