Within the framework of the Year of Heritage of the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana, in the spirit of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary cooperation, they are dedicated to presenting activities in the field of heritage, critically reflecting on the pressing problems of its preservation, interpretation, understanding, transmission and historical remembrance. The rich programme consists of various events, lectures, round tables, field visits to heritage sites, as well as concerts. One of the highlights of the creative encounter with musical heritage in this broadest sense is the concert, which will bring together the Philosophical Philharmonic Orchestra, the Student Choir of the Faculty of Arts and the visiting German choir, the Junges Ensemble Dresden. Alongside the individual presentations of each ensemble, they will also join together to make music together. The Dresden choir will expand its programme with a selection of works by Slovenian composers such as Nana Forte, Jacobus Gallus, Damijan Močnik and Anton Nedvěd, while the home choir will complement the Slovenian songs with English and Italian Renaissance by Bennet and Palestrina, Mendelssohn and Hungarian folk dance in Bárdos’s setting, and Gershwin. The Philharmonia will bring it all together in its own way with a Mozart symphony and music by the German-English composer Fridericks Delius. A special experience will be the ensembles’ joint collaboration on Mozart and Mendelssohn and the first concert presentation of a new transcription and redaction of a manuscript from the library of the Franciscan monastery in Novo mesto (Slovenija) of a composition by the Czech composer Francesco Saverio Kubický, who was active on our territory for many years at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
JUNGES ENSEMBLE DRESDEN (Germany)
The German Junges Ensemble Dresden is dedicated to selected a cappella choral music and especially to contemporary works, which it regularly presents in musical exchange with partner choirs on trips abroad. In doing so, it aims to build cultural bridges in Europe and to promote peace and understanding across borders. The choir has around 35 singers. Founded in 2005 by Tobias Walenciak, the ensemble has been directed since January by Robert Schad. The choir is dedicated to performing exciting programmes of sacred and secular choral music, from Renaissance to modern compositions. In addition, it has undertaken performances of scenographic music, collaborations with symphony orchestras, and, of particular importance, the production of the record Licht über Licht in collaboration with Jan Heinke.
PHILOSOPHICAL PHILHARMONY, SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF THE FACULTY OF ARTS (Slovenia)
The Philosophical Philharmonic, the symphony orchestra of the Faculty of Arts, is composed of musicians who are students or employees of the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana. The orchestra is distinguished by its carefully selected repertoire, with which it impresses at concerts in various halls in Ljubljana. The members are united by the joy of making music together and discovering new musical challenges. Since its inception in 2011, the ensemble has been led by Gregor Pompe, professor at the Department of Musicology.
STUDENT CHOIR OF THE FACULTY OF ARTS (Slovenia)
The Faculty of Arts Student Choir continues the singing tradition of the Faculty of Arts in a special way. The choir is composed of a wide variety of singers – both students from the home faculty and students from elsewhere. Each year there are also a few foreign students, which makes the choir very diverse. The diversity of the choir, which symbolically represents the diversity of the Faculty’s studies, is also reflected in the choice of programme and languages – from Renaissance to Baroque, from Romantic to Contemporary, from Latin to German, English, Italian and even Swedish and Hungarian. Founded in 2010, the choir was directed by Tjaša Ribizel for ten years, and in 2021 Matjaž Barbo, also a professor at the Department of Musicology, took over its artistic direction.
