Wolf's Lieder
As Hugo Wolf is particularly noted for his Lieder, the association has published some translations of his art songs into Slovenian (from German and Italian), as well as some memoirs related to Hugo Wolf.
Regular activities of Hugo Wolf Association include organising concerts. The evenings of Wolf's Lieder take place once a year under the title Wolf's Connection. An international solo singing school is organised annually; it is led by Prof. Breda Zakotnik, Salzburg Muzarteum who is an honorary member of the association.
International cooperation
The Hugo Wolf Association has organised several international symposia. In 2003, at the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Wolf's death in Vienna, the association organised many events, concerts and exhibitions in Slovenj Gradec, and participated in several projects in other cities, including Linz, Fribourg, Freising, Ottawa, and Graz. The association also collaborates with the Hugo Wolf Society in Vienna.
