Members and repertoire
The members of the group Davor Plamberger, Barbara Kresnik, Matevž Bajde, Franci Krevh, Dejan Tamše, Tomaž Lojen and Damir Korošec, come from Maribor, Slovenj Gradec, Ljubljana, Celje and Velenje. The SToP repertoire consists mostly of 20th- and 21st-century classical music, as well as contemporary, electrical-acoustic music and compositions by the group's members. The group also aims to bring well-known contemporary percussion works to the Slovene stage as well as to participate in a variety of projects that incorporate different artistic genres from choral music to contemporary dance performances. Some compositions have been specially commissioned by StoP from Slovene and foreign contemporary composers. The group presents around 30 concerts each year, many of which are aimed at young audiences and have an educational purpose. The group strives to introduce to their audience, through their musical events and workshops, a broad variety of classical and ethnological instruments as well as unconventional instruments like kitchen utensils, car brakes, screws, and hammers. The percussion group introduced such various instruments and different techniques of playing with the works of renowned composer Manfred Menke in a performance called Small Kitchen Music.
