De Profundis Chamber Choir was established in 1990. Under the conductorship of Branka Potočnik Krajnik, the choir has gained a reputation of being among the finest interpreters of vocal music. The choir expands its concert repertoire especially in theme-based music projects such as Love Songs (2003), European Renaissance Music and Slovene Creativity – Folk Music (2004), Slovene Creativity – Artistic Music (2006), Love in Slovene Folk Songs (2007), SACRAE (2009), Fate of a Woman (2010). The choir has recorded more than 30 first performances of works written by respected Slovene composers (e.g., Damijan Močnik, Brina Brezavšček - Jež, Igor Štuhec, Ambrož Čopi).
