Two performances of M8 were held on Sunday and Monday in Llubljana and Zagreb respectively to celebrate both countries' 20th anniversaries of independence. The presidents of both nations attended the Zagreb performance.
The conductor was Gergiev; apparently there were more than 1,000 total performers.
