A performance by the Emona Folklore Group at the summer Espa Stage programme, supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Copenhagen,
The group's programme covers traditional dances from all Slovene regions as well as some dances of Slovene ethnic minorities. The group was one of the first in Slovenia to introduce in their programmes ancient folk instruments (hammered dulcimer, musical saw, pan pipes, etc.) and many home-made rhythmic instruments.
Since its constitution the Emona Folklore group had over 1,600 members and has toured throughout Europe and presented the Slovene cultural heritage in the Americas, Algeria, Egypt, Japan, and North Korea.
Emona Folklore Group is a member of the Union of Cultural Societies of Slovenia (ZKDS) and CIOFF.
