The festival is held in Ljubljana between 26 September 2015 to 2 October 2015 and predominantly takes place in the Slovene Philharmonic, and partly also in Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana, Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory and Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre.
The International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM)
ISCM, which was founded in 1922, is a network of organisations (more than 60 organizations from over 50 countries) dealing with the various strains of contemporary composed music, and acts as a forum for "the advancement, dissemination and interchange of new music from around the world", with the aim to strengthen "musical life in their local contexts and making their music and its creators known to world".
The World Music Days festival is the main vehicle for this, with the recent festivals held in Hong Kong, Lithuania, Sweden, Australia, Croatia and Belgium.
World Music Days 2003
The organisation of the first World Music Days in Slovenia goes back for almost another decade, with the organisation of the festival being granted in 1998. Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre was then an active co-producer throughout the process of preparing and enacting the festival, which lasted for 8 days and consisted of 40 separate events, besides concerts them also being film projections, exhibitions, musical installations, a symposium and a music fair. It took place all over Slovenia, in the cities and towns of Ljubljana, Maribor, Postojna, Portorož, Bled and some others as well.
Some of the artists involved were The Arditti String Quartet, Ensemble Modern from Köln, Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, The BBC Singers, Klangforum Wien (led by Vinko Globokar) and Irena Grafenauer.
