23.00h Teo Collori Quartet (Si)

Teo Collori: electric guitar – Jaka Krušič: bass – Denis Beganović: trombone – Pavel Čebašek: drums

The Teo Collori Quartet is a new ensemble, formed at the end of 2024 out of spontaneous inspiration and a desire to create in a format that Collori had long flirted with. The classical guitar trio moves between different musical worlds - from funk, flamenco, swing and reggae to hip hop and western. Their repertoire is varied, energetic and meticulously arranged, with a strong authorial touch and plenty of improvisation. The Teo Collori Trio invites you to a sincere, witty and stylistically curious musical adventure.

19.00h World Delicacies Market

World Delicacies Market is a faithful companion of the cross-border Music of the World Festival in Nova Gorica (SI) and Gorizia (IT). The amphitheatre of Kromberk Castle will again provide the backdrop for the market with a wide range of locally and organically grown foods and drinks from both sides of the border. The market is a place to learn about and buy products from local producers, while also offering a pleasant setting for enjoyable pre- and post-concert socialising for people of all ages.

Free entry.

Glasbe sveta | Musiche dal Mondo (Musics from the World) is a festival that has redefined the border area between Gorizia (IT) and Nova Gorica (SI), transforming it into a lively region of cultural exchange. Every summer, artists from around the world weave jazz, folk and global traditions into an open dialogue between global cultures. Created to overcome the divisions in our heads, the festival comes to life in places of great historical value, an expression of the richness of the border area, where music generates authentic connections and offers new perspectives.
