Over the subsequent years, the festival framework assumed a more distinct and compact structure, the mature reflection enhanced the initial impetus. Different views on topics came as the natural course of events, having been established as a continuous feature depending on the festival's leadership. Different festival themes were in focus, from electronics to women composers; several countries were stressed in the festivals' programs like Sweden or Canada for example. There were festivals within the main festival (popular Urbofest or World New Music Days that was held in Zagreb in 2005 and 2011), numerous exhibitions, seminars, workshops, etc. Still MBZ was always focused on the institution of composer's persona. Messiaen, Stockhausen, Stravinsky, Cage, Berio, Penderecki, Lutoslawski, Maderna, Kagel, Globokar, Nono, Xenakis,Lucier, Schnebel, Reich, Murail, Maxwell Davis, Birtwistle, Schaffer, Nyman, Cerha, are only some that were MBZ's guests.
