==Archival article==

{{Teaser|
The [[Ariart Woodwind Quintet]] is made up of 5 renowned Slovene musicians who are also members of professional orchestras such as the [[RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra]], the [[Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra]], and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra: flautist [[Matej Zupan]], oboist [[Maja Kojc]], clarinettist [[Jože Kotar]], hornist [[Andrej Žust]], and bassoonist [[Milan Nikolić]]. The Quintet was established in [[established::1996]] and presents a classical repertoire as well as national music works on stages throughout Slovenia and abroad. The name Ariart was chosen by the ensemble because it is a composite form of two Italian words ''aria'' (air and song), and ''arte'' (art, craft).
