Slovene Music Days
Each year the international musicological symposium led by Primož Kuret brings together about 30 musicologists from all over Europe to discuss a new topic. Part of the symposium has been dedicated to examining and studying works and lives of Slovene composers. The concert part begins and ends with the two Slovene orchestras, the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra and the Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra.
The so-called Night of Slovene Composers - a marathon concert of many first performances of music scores by contemporary Slovene composers - is organised in collaboration with the Society of Slovene Composers. There are also a number of accompanying events, such as round table discussions, music workshops, exhibitions and book presentations. The programme is usually held at the Franciscan Church, the Slovene Philharmonics Halls, the Knight's Hall at Križanke and Piran City Gallery in Piran-Pirano.
Among many renowned musicians who have appeared at the festival in recent years Slovene Music Days also hosted Slavko Osterc trio, SToP Slovene Percussion Project, composer Bojana Šaljić Podešva, RTV Slovenia Big Band, Academic Choir Tone Tomšič, University of Ljubljana and Carmina Slovenica.
