GRAFENAUER FLAMENCO PROJECT – concert and talk

The Grafenauer Flamenco Project brings together outstanding Slovenian musicians who, under the artistic direction of Izidor Erazem Grafenauer, lead listeners into the world of flamenco infused with jazz, world, and classical music. The compositions, all original works by Grafenauer, were conceived and recorded in Spain and released as part of the project Ventana abierta (“Open Window”). Each piece reflects Grafenauer’s personal reflections on the world around him, his years of dedicated creative work, and his profound artistic exploration.

Pre-concert talk at 6:00 p.m. – The Meanings of Folk Music in Contemporary Contexts
with Dr. Mojca Kovačič and Eva Fekonja, M.A., from the Institute of Ethnomusicology ZRC SAZU.

Before the Grafenauer Flamenco Project concert, Dr. Mojca Kovačič and Eva Fekonja, M.A., will introduce the event with a discussion exploring the exciting intersection between a contemporary Slovenian composer’s approach to the Spanish folk tradition of flamenco and the broader meanings of folk music in modern contexts.

Dr. Mojca Kovačič is Head and Research Fellow at the Institute of Ethnomusicology ZRC SAZU. Her research focuses on folk music processes within broader social and political frameworks, including gender, migration, minority settings, nationalism, cultural policy, and the heritage of music in post-socialist societies. She also lectures at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana and serves as the national representative to the International Council for Traditions of Music and Dance.
