The programme this year is again bursting at the seams with the zeal of musical splendour.

To give you just a taste of what is to come:

- “… the best chamber orchestra on earth” (The Times)/”The best chamber orchestra in the world” (The Telegraph) – The Australian Chamber Orchestra – resident orchestra of Festival Maribor 2012

- “…the most brilliant Talent of the decade” (Süddeutsche Zeitung)/“[whose] performances are the stuff of legend" (Los Angeles Times) – the multiple Grammy Award winner, the soprano Dawn Upshaw

- and “one of the world’s most celebrated composers” (The Telegraph)/"...a voice of fertile imagination, originality and expressive subtlety" (Chicago Tribune) - the great composer and violist Brett Dean

- as well as numerous other Slovenian and foreign artists united in the unique Festival Maribor 2012 edition under the artistic lead of Richard Tognetti.

Listen in on the award-winning performance of E. Grieg's String Quartet by the ACO, which will also be presented in Maribor this year.

The Festival Maribor received an additional affirmation this year: among 275 applicants from 32 EU countries knowledgeable assessors have chosen our festival as one of the 14 festivals to receive the highly desired EU award for European festivals.
