We support young musicians
Through the purchase in 2013 of a superlative violin made in 1850 by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, Banka Slovenije set in motion the project of lending an exquisite instrument to young musical talents. In this way we are providing an opportunity for gifted young music students from the Academy of Music of the University of Ljubljana. As they pursue their studies, young talented individuals need above all mentor support and guidance, but they also need to be able to perform, so they can gain experience in solo recitals, chamber ensembles or orchestras. Playing concerts on superlative instruments enables young, talented musicians to gain validation both at home and abroad, and in this way on their musical path to gain access to important teachers and schools and to internationally established musicians or orchestras.
Our contribution is a solid investment, not just in financial terms, but also in the future of young musical talents and in the satisfaction over their success. In this way we are helping to create the promotion of top Slovenian musical creativity, at home and around the world.
Banka Slovenije released a CD with music by Slovenian composers
As part of our Music of Slovenian Composers project, marking the 30th anniversary of Banka Slovenije, we hosted the talented young musician Tanja Sonc, who performed various pieces by Slovenian composers together with a team of young musicians. The CD's aim is to promote Slovenian music and culture abroad, while providing a premium music experience.
The musician selected and performed, with the accompaniment of other musicians, compositions by Lucijan Marija Škerjanc, Alojz Srebotnjak, Marijan Lipovšek, Nenad Firšt, Hugo Wolf, Slavko Osterc and Matija Krečič. At its 30th anniversary Banka Slovenije thus paid tribute to important Slovenian composers and musicians, who, alongside numerous other artists, form one of the strongest pillars of Slovenian identity.
You can listen to the works on all popular digital music platforms.
