Join us for an evening of top-tier jazz, featuring four outstanding young musicians, each bringing their unique voice and deep experience from the world of improvised and jazz music.

Saxophonist and composer Blaž Švagan, hailing from Maribor, is the recipient of the Jazzon Award for Best Jazz Composition. His music blends contemporary jazz with Balkan influences, creating a distinctive and personal sound. He’ll be joined by guitarist Jure Pišek, leader of the Jure Pišek Group, known for fusing traditional jazz with elements of world music, blues, and electronic textures. His playing is marked by creativity, experimentation, and the use of effects like loopers and octavers. Providing the rhythmic foundation is Miha Koren, a versatile double bassist, composer, and educator. In addition to his performing career, he teaches at the Velenje Music School and is active in composition. Rounding out the quartet is Lan Vračun, a young and dynamic drummer known for his refined sense of rhythm and energy. He is active in a wide range of projects and collaborates with many artists across the Slovenian music scene.

Admission free.
