Is not a competition but encourages the comparison between different musical cultures and far traditions. The festival includes participation in concerts and performances in theaters, churches and amphitheaters selected for the particular acoustic characteristics or to enhance the repertoires of any band. Locations such as the wonderful country of the Adriatic Coast in Opatija and Postojna Cave will be the ideal for visits and performances of the groups.  less
