As a successor of a Maribor International Orchestra 2012, the Ljubljana International Orchestra (LIO) has become a part of the Branimir Slokar Academy programme in 2012.

The orchestra’s repertoire consists of symphonic works of the Viennese Classical and Romantic periods as well as 20th century music. The orchestra has performed in Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, United Kingdom and Spain.


Background

In 2010 the Delavnica Institute of Art and Culture Maribor based in Maribor, which was in 2012 the European Capital of Culture established the Maribor International Orchestra 2012. An orchestra of outstanding young musicians has evolved through the summer academy and master classes where the participants played in a symphonic orchestra and work with the best conductors from countries other than their own. In 2010 already Maribor hosted 122 musicians from 21 countries.

The MIO2012 project has been developed with international partners from the United Kingdom (MacLaurin Media Ltd and St John’s Smith Square), the Czech Republic (Narodni Divadlo Brno), Serbia (Balkan Urban Movement), Macedonia (Interkultura), Austria (KSŠŠG) and Slovenia (Glasbena matica Ljubljana and Ljubljana Festival), with the support of musicians Branimir Slokar (trombone), Latica Honda-Rosenberg (violin), Reinhold Friedrich (trumpet), Wolfram Christ (viola), and Klaus Arp (conducting).
