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.

The KGBL (Conservatory of Music and Ballet Ljubljana) Choir was founded in 2010. After four years, it split into two bodies – the KGBL Choir, attended by KGBL students who don’t attend orchestras, and KGBL Chamber Choir, which consists of approximately 40 singers, who are eager to be challenged, who wish to expand their vocal technical knowledge, and who want to take their repertoire to the next level of quality and tackle more demanding choir compositions. The chamber choir’s repertoire is diverse in genre and style, ranging from Renaissance to Contemporary music. They also often commission new compositions, which they then promote at concerts and competitions on Slovenian as well as foreign stages.

The KGBL wind orchestra is composed of young musicians, students of the Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory, many of whom are recipients of national and international awards. Under the baton of Andrej Zupan, the orchestra performs a classical wind instrument repertoire, as well as arrangements of different genre pieces. The ensemble’s systematic approach to working with young musicians helps them to acquire musical experience during study and provides the foundation of the orchestra’s high quality performances. Many concerts at home and abroad (Greece, Serbia, North Macedonia) testify to the good work of the ensemble.
