Vocal Academy Jurij Slatkonja
The Kurij Slatkonja Vocal Academy is an association of vocalists which was created in October 2014 out of the musical activities within the Friderik I. Baraga Institute. It is composed of mostly formally educated vocalists from the Dolenjska region.
The Vocal Academy first introduced itself to the public with a series of Christmas concerts in January 2015. In the second concert cycle, they symbolically commemorated the end of World War II in remembrance to all suffering Slovenes during the war with Psalm 130 De profundis, composed by Aleš Makovc and Requiem, by the famous English composer John Rutter.
Events
In 2019 they have started a new concert cycle project called Novo Mesto Sacral concert series (Novomeški sakralni abonma) which will offer eight sacral music concerts by internationally renowned artists.
