Between September 20th and October 18th, the traditional concert series PLEČNIK AND A-CAPPELLA will take place in Ljubljana (once a week). This event combines vocal music and the architecture of the master Plečnik, whose work was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List two years ago as natural and cultural heritage.

The concerts provide a unique opportunity to listen to selected a cappella music in the magnificent interiors designed by Plečnik, offering an artistic experience for both the eye and the ear.

This year's locations will be:

  • Čevljarski Bridge in the Old Ljubljana
  • Atrium and Grand Reading Room of the National and University Library (NUK)
  • Church of St. Cyril and Methodius near Bežigrad
  • Church of St. Francis of Assisi in Šiška

The cycle will feature performances by 5 outstanding local vocal ensembles:

  • Jazzva
  • Mixed Choir Obala Koper
  • Chamber Choir of Glasbena Matica Ljubljana
  • Chamber Choir Megaron
  • Chamber Choir Ave

This year's concert series will commence on Wednesday, September 20th, with a performance by the ensemble JAZZVA on Čevljarski most (bridge) in the Old Ljubljana. The concert is designed as a relaxed opening of the series at an unconventional location and will be free for the audience. All other concerts are ticketed, priced at 20 EUR or 15 EUR for students, retirees, groups, and families with at least four members.
