Mojca Zlobko Vajgl is without question Slovenia’s best known and internationally most acclaimed harpist. Over the course of her long career at the highest level, she has inspired the creation of numerous new works by Slovene composers, while at the same time teaching new generations of harpists at the Ljubljana Academy of Music, where she is a full professor. She devotes particular attention to chamber music and has frequently performed in a duo with the brilliant French harpist Marion Ravot. The latter’s relatively brief career to date has seen her work with some of the world’s most renowned orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic.
For the Winter Festival, the two harpists have prepared a journey through musical history. The core of the programme consists of French works from the Romantic and Impressionist periods, which saw the harp elevated to the ranks of the most refined and colourful instruments. The programme also includes baroque dances, which will take on a new light when performed on the harp. Finally, the versatile Slovene composer Aldo Kumar has created a new work especially for this occasion, which we will hear for the very first time at this concert.
