Katarina Juvančič and Dejan Lapanja first appeared on the Slovenian music scene in 2009, when their folk-rock song Uej uej (Magdalenca) entered the Slovenian National Radio’s newcomers contest. Often described as alt-folk, bridging modern trends and ancient folk influences and sensibilities, their music has twice won awards at the Slovenian songwriting competition. Katarina and Dejan’s debut album, “Selivke” (Migratory Birds), garnered high praise in Slovenia and abroad. Featuring 17 artists from Scotland and Slovenia, their second album “Hope’s Beautiful Daughters” was released in August 2014. The third release, “Vmesje” (Betweenings), came out in 2017. The duo has performed in Slovenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, India and Sri Lanka.

Katarina Pustinek Rakar graduated in composition from the Ljubljana Academy of Music, where she later also received her master’s degree.

She also composes pieces for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, and larger works for wind and symphony orchestras. She teaches at the Ljubljana Conservatory for Music and Ballet and at the Ljubljana Academy of Music.

Katcha’s high-energy DJ sets are a blend of contemporary bass genres, Latin American temper, African rhythms and noughties nostalgia. She is a member of the collective Ustanova and a regular at the club Monokel. As a promoter, she organises club nights where queer people can feel safe, seen and welcome. As an activist, she fights for better representation of FLINTA artists on the global electronic music scene, which is still mostly run by cis men. In the past, she collaborated with the Latin American collectives NOTT and Ghetto Witches. She is currently trying her luck in the city of Leipzig.

Soprano Katja Konvalinka performs in operas and gives solo recitals throughout Slovenia and abroad. She serves as President of the Slovenian Chamber Music Theatre.

In 2013, she was a member of the ensemble Okustični. In 2014, she moved to Los Angeles, where she performs, writes music and teaches. She shares the stage with guitarist Mak Grgič and other colleagues, such as Louis Von Taylor (Kool & The Gang), Del Atkins, Joel Scott, Darryl Crooks (Snoop Dogg, Ledisi), Eric Valentine and others.

Katja Šulc moves between poetry and music. She has garnered widespread attention by winning first prize at the 2011 Slovenian Chanson Festival with her song Na poti domov. Katja Šulc works with national and international musicians, songwriters and producers and holds concerts at home and abroad (France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, China, Mexico, Guatemala). Her work covers a variety of music genres, ranging from musical settings of poems, contemporary chanson, experimental music, dub and jazz, to world and electronic music.

Apart from their passion for mischievous wordplays and double entendres, Kavasutra is also a very sparkling and exuberant collective when it comes to music. The musically proficient youngsters from the Goriška region prove all of the above in their exploratory jazz-rock expression. Like their great idol Frank Zappa, they tend to avoid speaking about genres. Their cocktail of musical styles and techniques, sometimes with a bit of funk and psychedelia, can sometimes sound like very complicated and difficult stuff to play, but the guys, all seasoned improvisers, do it with playful ease.

Built between 1836 and 1838 in the Neo-classical style, Kazina (Casino Building) served as a social hub for the city of Ljubljana’s higher social classes. Renowned for its rich adornment, the first-floor hall is one of Ljubljana’s most celebrated interiors. Location: Ljubljana

Jazz Club & Bistro Kazina opened in 2024 in an attractive location in the center of Ljubljana, in the Kazina building at Kongresni trg 1.

Under the roof of the Kazina, you can listen to jazz musicians, big bands, music academy students and other performers.
