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 of classical music, mostly written in the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as their own compositions and contemporary, electrical-acoustic music. The group also aims to bring well-known contemporary percussion works to the Slovenian 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.
Recent concerts
In 2009, it cooperated with a dance group at the 6th Balkan Dance Platform, which took place at Cankarjev dom. SToP also played works by Edgard Varèse with the Slowind Quintet at the Slowind Festival in Ljubljana. In 2010, the group collaborated with the Japanese percussionist Haruka Fujii, with whom they went on a concert tour in Slovenia with performances that combined both the Asian and Slovenian drumming tradition. SToP has also played with the Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestrain Sombor (Croatia) and with the percussion group Bing Bang in Zagreb (Croatia). Several internationally-renowned percussionists and composers, including Evelyn Glennie, Nebojša J Živkovič, Manfred Menke and Bernhard Wulff, have co-operated with SToP. The group toured Spain, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Montenegro and South Korea.
