17th International festival of brass orchestras

Since 1996 Music Society Spinčići organizes an International Festival of Brass Orchestras. Besides the ones from Croatia, the festival also hosted orchestras from Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic and Austria. Visiting orchestras traditionally open the festival by performing through the boroughs of Kastav. That is followed by a procession through the streets of Kastav and an opening ceremony in which all the orchestras perform together. Finally, every orchestra performs independently a short repertoire.
