History
Ariart Woodwind Quintet was established in 1996. The Quintet's members are well-known Slovene musicians: flautist Matej Zupan, oboist Maja Kojc, clarinettist Jože Kotar, hornist Andrej Žust and bassoonist Milan Nikolić. 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).
Repertoire
The ensemble of five young wind instrumentalists has attracted the attention of both classical music lovers as well as contemporary music fans. It also collaborates with Jeunesses Musicales International (JMI), Slovenia presenting national works to a younger audience. Its repertoire includes works by 20th century Slovene composers such as Uroš Krek, Primož Ramovš and Slavko Osterc, contemporary works composed especially for Ariart, as well as arrangements of classical music pieces for flute (piccolo), oboe (English horn), clarinet (bass and E-flat), bassoon and French horn.
Recordings
The Quintet's discography features 3 CDs. The recordings feature the Quintet's performances of original and arranged works by international composers such as Paul Hindemith, Joseph Haydn, Jacques Ibert, Malcolm Arnold, Astor Piazzolla and Slovene composers such as Alojz Srebotbjak and Primož Ramovš.
