At the church and hall of the Franciscan Monastery at Kostanjevica near Nova Gorica
12th season

May – July 2006

The magnificent surroundings of the Franciscan Monastery at Kostanjevica near Nova Gorica will play host to some delightful concerts for the 12th consecutive season, enhancing the spiritual power of this special jewel of cultural heritage through music.

Five exquisite musical evenings will continue the musical path we have traced out over the previous seasons and which has been eagerly embraced both by our loyal audiences and musicians. Also this season there will be a focus on music from Slovenia and the region of Goriška. Mainly young and promising musicians from the “Goriška gardens” on both sides of the border will be given the chance to perform.

You are invited to experience the restorative and heartening power of music within the sanctuary of the Franciscan Monastery.
