Production and postproduction
Art Society of Celje is a voluntary organisation, established in 2002, which combines art lovers and professional members. Before the founding the House of Culture Celje, which is still strongly connected to the Art Society of Celje, the biggest achievements were the productions such as the musical Beauty and the Beast (2006/2007) and opera The Noblemen of Teharje (Teharski plemiči), written by Benjamin Ipavec. The latter was awarded the bronze Coat–of-Arms of Celje.
A great amount of productions promote the creativity among the young. In the creative and pedagogical sense, society prepares every year singing masterclasses under the famous Croatian soprano Vlatka Oršanić. The school of musical with Slovene baritone Boštjan Korošec also takes place every year.
In autumn 2007 the society has prepared probably the most important international collaboration with the London Royal College of Art. Postgraduate students and professors of college prepared the successful project called Cultured Vandals.
Choir and orchestra
Anton Schwab choir (named after the Slovene doctor and composer Anton Schwab) is a project vocal choir, established in 2009 and comprised mostly by students. Its most important achievement so far has been the second place with a special praise at the 47th international competition Montreaux 2011. The choir has been conducted by Alenka Goršič Ernst.
The House of Celje's Orchestra unites professional musicians and talented high school and university students from Celje and its vicinity. It has permanent members, occasionally accompanied by guest musicians. Its artistic leader and conductor is Simon Dvoršak. The orchestra also cooperates with local and foreign soloists, such as Andreja Zakonjšek Krt, Matjaž Stopinšek, Barbara Jernejčič Fürst, Janko Volčanšek, Ebony Buckle, Ney Rosauro, and performers such as the SToP Slovene Percussion Project. It prepares 3 to 4 projects a year.
Both the choir and the orchestra of the House of Culture Celje premiered in 2009 with the project Händel & Haydn, performing parts from oratorios Messiah and The Seasons. Beside the orchestra and choir there are also two smaller ensembles that are part of the institute’s activity - a tango Quintet Gamma and a male vocal quintet.
