Festival Ljubljana: Jurka Zoroja with Guests

Festival Ljubljana: Jurka Zoroja with Guests – immerse yourself in the dazzling virtuosity of flutist Jurka Zoroja, renowned soloist and pedagogue, as she leads the dynamic Slovenian chamber collective Ensemble Dissonance. This intimate yet electrifying program intertwines the timeless brilliance of Haydn, Mozart, and Debussy with fresh, contemporary voices, showcasing the rich tapestry of Slovenian composition and international collaboration. The concert journey begins with Mozart’s sparkling Flute Quartet No. 1 in D major, K. 2852, followed by the soaring Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major by Haydn, Hob. VIIb: 1***3. Haydn’s No. 2 in G major (Hob. IV: 74) then sweeps the stage. The hall resonates with Debussy’s ethereal Syrinx for solo flute, and the subtle elegance of Claude Debussy’s melody is mirrored in Ravel’s Pavane (arranged by Klemen Hvala). Inspired by the gag of Saint‑Saëns, the timeless “The Swan” from *Carnival of the Animals* glides onto the strings. A new, passionate work for flute and strings emerges from Slovenian composer Jani Golob, propelling the ensemble into uncharted melodic landscapes. Then, the resonant depth of John William’s “Theme from Schindler’s List” and the cinematic beauty of Ennio Morricone’s “Gabriel’s Oboe” (arr. Klemen Hvala) culminate the program in a triumphant crescendo, leaving audiences breathless with wonder. Join us for an unforgettable celebration of classic brilliance and contemporary exploration, perfectly captured in this concert film. See Details & tickets.
