For several years now, Nuška Drašček has been captivating audiences with her voice, stage presence and remarkably broad repertoire, which ranges from opera to jazz, blues, pop, gospel, musicals and chanson. In recent years she has appeared both in Slovenia and abroad in important operatic roles and with interesting programmes of popular music. For this concert she has joined forces with the accordionist Marko Hatlak, a versatile musician who has been appearing on concert stages as a soloist and chamber musician for more than 20 years, performing a broad repertoire that ranges from Baroque to tango and world music. In recent years he has also been active with his own Marko Hatlak Band. Over the course of a thoughtfully planned programme, which they have called “In Two”,  the two musicians will present their own eclectic selection of favourite tunes and perform them acoustically. The emphasis in the first part of the programme is on music from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods, after which they will move on to chansons, tangos, popular and folk songs and original compositions. In this way the duo will accompany us on a fascinating journey through different periods of history and different musical styles.
