Plečnik & A-Cappella 2025: 3. concert

4Given is a Slovenian vocal group which brings a fresh wave of gospel music to the Slovenian scene. The quartet has learned a distinctive expressiveness from local and foreign performers of Black spiritual music. This makes the singers so compelling that connoisseurs place them alongside even the most renowned representatives of this genre.

With 4Given, gospel standards ring out in an authentic interpretation that few can match. From the very beginning, the singers have reimagined the arrangements of the songs, bringing in elements of vocal play, which is characterised by vocal imitation of various instruments, additional sounds, as well as effects, for a full and lush sound without the need for electronics. In addition to writing covers, the group also creates original material.

The members of 4Given have made a significant contribution to the establishment and popularisation of this type of a cappella music in this country through their involvement in various groups and project ensembles, and they are increasingly sought after outside their homeland for their contemporary approach to Black spiritual music.
