Opening of the 40th Slovenian Music Days

At the opening concert, the creativity of Janez Matičič will come to life.

A large orchestra, composed of musicians in formal black attire, poses with various instruments, including strings and brass, on stage. The setting is elegant and coordinated, conveying a sense of harmony.

At the opening concert of the 40. Slovenian Music Days, the visionary creativity of Janez Matičič—shaped in the Parisian sound laboratory under the influence of Pierre Schaeffer and his teacher Nadia Boulanger—will take centre stage. His Piano Concerto No. 1 will be performed by the SNG Maribor Symphony Orchestra conducted by Simon Krečič, with Lovorka Nemeš Dular as the soloist.
