Avsenik Festival

Avsenik Festival was launched in 2013 as a way to commemorate 60 years of the legendary Avsenik Ensemble. It is held on a biennial basis in Begunje, where the founder of the ensemble Slavko Avsenik (1929–2015) was born and where in recent years he and his family have established a diverse enterprise featuring a music school, a gallery, a publishing house, a museum with a shop and also a restaurant with regular concert evenings.

The festival takes place under a marquee at a nearby meadow and in three days presents an international line-up of about 30 ensembles who offer their takes on either the music of the Avsenik Ensemble or on the music which they've pioneered into the world.

Some of the foreign bands and the musicians that were invite to the festival are Edith Prock (DE), Kurt und seine Oberkrainer (AU), Denis Novato (IT), Schwarzwald krainer (DE), Lucienne Lončina (GB), Oesch's die Dritten (CH), Marko Manin (IT), Die Mooskirchner (AU), Hubi (DE), Die neuen Oberkreiner (NL), Die Lustigen 5 (D), etc. These foreign bands all line up during the first day, with the local ones taking the stage on the next two days.
