ABOUT THE CHOIR

Mixed choir Ljubljanski Madrigalisti was formed in 1991 when a group of Slovenian madrigalists decided to work under conductor Matjaž Šček. Throughout the years the choir built up an advanced repertory and performed at numerous competitions and also as a guest choir. In its long and fruitful existence it recorded eight compilations. Ljubljanski Madrigalisti are known and recognized in Slovenian music space. Love for music, mutual respect and friendship keep us together.

From September 2018 the choir is led by young and promising Klara Maljuga. In 2020 she prepared program “Blagor družinam” for Ljubljanski Madrigalisti that won a prize for best program of mid-Slovenian region.

CONDUCTORS

KLARA MALJUGA (2018 - present)

Klara Maljuga’s conducting skills first got attention when she made it to semifinals at the competition of choral conductors of Matej Hubad in 1016 in Ljubljana. In 2019 she graduated in choral conducting with excellence at the Music Academy of Ljubljana in class of doc. Sebastjan Vrhovnik. She keeps expanding her knowledge attending both local and international workshops for choral conductors (mentors include Ragnar Rasmussen, Gary Graden, Martina Batič, etc.).

MATJAŽ ŠČEK (1991-2001)

Influenced by music from very early on, Matjaž Šček was a choirmaster in various amateur ensembles from a very young age. He successfully led an octet, a men's choir and then a mixed choir. It was under his baton that the Ljubljana Madrigalists mixed choir was founded in 1991.
