\nMS – The main objective is to bring eight evening special concerts blocks. The whole festival has one basic theme every year, and each concert block usually consists usually from three bands and has specific title and dramaturgy. I want to bring complete evening program as the whole, which has the own title, logic, specificity, uniqueness, discovering for visitors, delights for musicians from these concerts.

\nI pepare a special short residence projects with final concert.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n

MM – What are the most complicated or difficult issues to deal with in your festival?\u00a0<\/strong>
