The pocket music guide Listen to Slovenia is a compact and at the same time informative overview of the Slovene music scene, featuring a variety of musicians and presenting their works within a myriad of music genres, ranging from classical, jazz, popular folk to heavy metal and electronic dance music. The guide is intended for a wider international audience (lay and professional) and will be available only in English.

This year's forum Classical:Next will take place between 29 May and 1 June in Vienna. The Slovene stand at the fair, managed by SIGIC, will have the opportunity to present Slovene publishers of classical music, distributers and supporters of Slovene composers and young talents (ZKP RTV Slovenia, DSS Publishing House, Branimir Slokar Academy, Intek d.o.o).

Between 3 and 6 October 2013 the Waves Vienna music conference and festival will take place in Vienna. This first and largest club festival in Central Europe focuses on the current international trends within genres such as Indie pop, rock and electronic music. Cooperation between the Festival and its Slovene partners (SIGIC and the Slovene Music Week) will reach its peak this year, with Slovenia at the centre of the festival events. The festival will host performances from many Slovene musicians and Slovene culture will be given the spotlight at the conference. (http://www.wavesvienna.com/en/)

Thanks to positive past experience and considerable interest in SIGIC's lectures within the Slovene Music Week, SIGIC has decided to upgrade this activity with regular workshops, intended for all those who are interested in music or actively work in the fields of music or journalism. Currently under way are SIGIC's workshops on law for musicians, whilst Odzven workshops for music journalists are set to resume in autumn.
