Dear competitors,

All comings-together are important and precious; however, if this means meeting people from different
parts of the world, who are brought together by appreciation and interest in the same subject, such an
event is not only an irreplaceable experience, but also a great opportunity.

All we who work with music know that "competition" is something which, as such, does not belong to our
activity – in the sense that we strive to be artistic and creative. Music cannot be objectively judged by
some unified norms, as, luckily, it leaves a wide window to personal appreciation and expression.
It becomes truly alive only after it has been heard and felt by others.

Mastering an instrument demands a great deal of effort and knowledge. And this very aspect - the skill
and knowledge of mastering a certain instrument is an area which, nevertheless, can be judged to
some extent, although always tinted with personal preferences.

We all from OFF Izola and Krško Musical School as organisers wish that this competition which is being
organised for the first time, goes on in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. May this be an opportunity
for each of you to show the results of your past efforts, and your personal attitude to music and
instrument. But above all, may this be a valuable experience for each of you.
