Program

That is how the golden voices sing

The Zbor sv. Nikolaja was invited to participate at the "Tako pojo zlati" (That is how the golden voices sing) project by Glasbena Matica Ljubljana and prepared an evening concert on 27th February 2005 in the Great Hall of Slovenian Philharmonic Society in Ljubljana. Its program consisted of spiritual and folk music as well as pieces by modern Slovenian composers. Large repertory and superbly realized pieces of music by various composers were a clear proof of the young choir's excellence. The enthusiastic audience in the crowded concert hall awarded choir's hard work with long applauses, standing ovations and enthusiastic exclamations.



"This invitation to sing in the Slovenian Philharmonic Society has been a great reward and great responsibility at the same time. It has been our first solo-concert in this renowned and acoustic hall – it brought us not only the will to work even harder but also a pinch of fear. How will it go? Will it be OK? We have to admit the fact that our arrival on the stage was pleasant, seeing all those people. Already after the first tact's of music our fear had dissipated and we were eager to create some beautiful music. We were more and more confident and relaxed, becoming one with the audience. Long applauses gave us additional strength, especially the standing ovation at the end of the concert that took our breath away…"

"I am thrilled – I can't describe it in words. Their exceptional vocals, dedication to music and energy were decisive. They have presented us with a wonderful repertory and conquered the audience by superb realizations but most important of all they put their souls into the music. Sometimes I felt like I wasn't on Earth anymore. Their singing proves that it is possible, having expert leadership and doing a lot of hard work, to turn an average choir into a high-quality one. My congratulations to the conductor and singers. I wish you a lot of success in the future!"

Tomaž Tozon, conductor and artist, with singers of the mixed choir Glasbena Matica Ljubljana:
"We were amazed by your last night's concert. Congratulations to all the singers and to the conductor Helena Fojkar Zupančič for your admirable accomplishment and we thank you for your hard work. We are most proud of you. Sincere singing is a shortcut to happiness. You have definitely found it – follow it in the future and continue to delight us with your singing!"
