The Novo mesto Symphony Orchestra, the pride of the Novo mesto Music Conservatory, comprises more than ninety musicians. String, wing, brass and percussion teachers form a constituent part of the symphony orchestra. They set an example and offer guidance to the young musicians – both former and current music school students taking their first foray into orchestral playing. However, this does not mean that the orchestra is not open to contributions from other performers. For a number of years, the symphony has extended invitations to a long list of professional soloists, primarily vocalists from different countries and cultural backgrounds. Additionally, both talented students and Music Conservatory teachers are offered a chance to perform with the orchestra as soloists. Each school year, the Symphony Orchestra of the Marjan Kozina Music Conservatory from Novo mesto presents a concert repertoire featuring compositions by Slovenian and foreign composers. The symphony orchestra of the Music Conservatory serves as a complement to the school’s vocal-instrumental study programme and gives students an opportunity to gain practical experience in ensemble playing.

The Oberkrainer aus Begunje folk-pop ensemble (Slovenian: Veseli Begunjčani) was started in 2007. Before joining the ensemble, all musicians were members of different folk-pop groups and have extensive experience of playing professionally both at home and abroad. They all hail from the village of Begunje na Gorenjskem or its environs. Paying tribute to folk-pop music and the Avsenik Brothers Ensemble, the band takes its name from a happy ‘tune’ written by the Avseniks as far back as in 1954, titled “Veseli Begunjčani” (Merry People from Begunje). Members of the Oberkrainer aus Begunje swear by the authentic folk pop ‘quintet’ music, i.e. music pioneered by the Avsenik Ensemble.
