Repertoire and performances
The ensemble of 5 young wind instrumentalists has attracted the attention of both classical music lovers as well as contemporary music fans with performances in Slovenia and in countries such as Denmark and Spain as well as neighbouring Austria and Italy. Ariart Woodwind Quintet hosts a yearly concert cycle Serenade at the Slovene Philharmonic which features performances by the quintet as well as international guest ensembles such as the Croatian chamber ensemble Rucner and the bass player Zoran Marković.
