The Carmina Slovenica choirs are among the best Slovenian vocal ensembles. This is demonstrated by their demanding and colourful repertoire. In addition to a capella compositions of all genres, the Choirs Carmina Slovenica have undertaken projects such as: Mahler's Eighth Symphony, Penderecki's St. Lukes Passion, Bach's Magnificat, Cornelius's Mass in d-minor, Mozart's Requiem, Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, Orff's Carmina Burana...
The Choirs have performed with great success in many countries ( Italy, Finland, Great Britain, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Denmark, South Africa, Canada, Belgium, Netherlands, United States of America...). In July 1995 the youth and female choirs made appearances at the European Symposium on Choral Music, organised by the International Federation for Choral Music (IFCM).
Carmina Slovenica is the winner of many international competitions - "Golden Gate" USA, "Neerpelt" Belgium, "Des Moines" USA, "Kathaumixw" Canada, "Kalundborg" Denmark, etc., and belongs to the most important groups in world youth choirs movement.
The important goal of Carmina Slovenica, as one of the world's most important groups in the children and youth choirs movement, is to promote the idea - "Music at the service of Peace" - through the heritage of Slovenian and international choral music in performances at home and abroad.
Carmina Slovenica has already performed with this idea in many countries (South Africa, Croatia, Canada, Germany, United States of America, Poland, Denmark, G. Britain, Belgium, Hungary, Finland...) with great success.
Because its high artistic quality of performances and the fact that music is one of the factors for bringing people together, all choir international activities hold the same importance in both fields: in the "Art" and "Music for Peace".
Extensive study of international choir music led to the methodical learning of pieces from different cultures, from Eskimos to Estonians. In addition to a cappella music of all genres, Carmina Slovenica has undertaken projects such as: Mahler's Eighth Symphony, Penderecki's St. Lukas Passion, Bach's Magnificat, Cornelius's Mass in d-minor, Mozart's Requiem, Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, Orff's Carmina Burana.
Carmina Slovenica is a member of IFCM, ISME and Europa Cantat.
Innovative and ingenious choreographies, a daring image, and courage in tackling contemporary musical challenges are the features of Carmina Slovenica. Whether in Paris, Vancouver, Johannesburg or Maribor the audience thrills to the opening chords of their concerts.
