The Ljubljana String Quartet is a name that has been present on the Slovenian music scene for almost 70 years. At this year’s festival it will present its new line-up consisting of Tim Skalar Demšar, who joined the best young violinists and chamber musicians while still a student; Vivijana Rogina, who won the highest prizes during her studies and now performs in various chamber ensembles; Roberto Papi, who regularly appears as a chamber musician at festivals at home and abroad; and the award-winning Maruša Turjak Bogataj, who has been a solo cellist with the RTV Slovenija Symphony Orchestra since 2015. They will perform a stylistically diverse repertoire, beginning with a piece by the leading Slovenian avant-garde composer between 1919 and 1922, Marij Kogoj. His works are classified as Expressionist, which he complemented with late-Romantic elements. This will be followed by a work by Joseph Haydn, who is considered the father of both the symphony and the string quartet. Haydn established this latter genre, based on the interplay of four more or less equal voices, and influenced its further development. The programme will conclude with Dvořák’s American-inspired quartet, considered a landmark work in the composer’s chamber music oeuvre.
