Unijazz

18th issue of the festival is going to take place on the last week of November 2010 in Kaštan – Space of Unijazz, the Archa Theatre and Reading Room of Unijazz.

Alternativa, first held in 1993, is the festival of alternative music. The event offers not only artistic and demanding rock music, but also includes music such as jazz or modern classical music, while a large part is dedicated to experimental electronic music. In recent years, the festival has also opened itself to alternative forms of dance music and ethnic rhythms. Visitors have the opportunity to become acquainted with minority genres which, although they are out of the mainstream, are of high artistic quality and are noted for their creative approaches. The majority of groups performing at the festival are among the world’s best.

Besides foreign participants and leading domestic acts from the alternative scene, new and lesser-known groups which have few opportunities to present themselves to the general public are given their own stage. A panel of experts then selects groups which are then invited to perform at other Unijazz events.
