FESTIVAL IMAGO SLOVENIAE 2016
Imago Sloveniae – Image of Slovenia is one of the largest non-governmental cultural projects in Slovenia, linking 20 concert venues from all parts of the country. This summer’s edition of the festival will include 37 concert of artists from 16 countries. The programme is traditionally based on classical music from different periods for different ensembles, and enriched with jazz, which will also receive increased attention during this year.
The opening concert is thus dedicated to jazz and the Big Band of RTV Slovenia, one of the oldest ensembles of this type in the world which is celebrating the 70th anniversary of its operation, will host 10 excellent solos of the younger generation who are building their successful careers in Slovenia and abroad.
According to our mission, i.e. provision of access to high quality cultural content, this year the concerts will continue to be available free of charge for all visitors. This is mainly thanks to our numerous sponsors among which we must especially highlight the Municipality of Ljubljana.
This year’s festival is dedicated to the sadly much too early deceased, musician, violinist, mentor and music professor Mr Tomaž Lorenz, our dear friend and long-time associate.
I sincerely hope that you have a pleasant cultural journey.
