With Primož Malavašič our renewed choir performed at numerous concerts in Slovenia and opened festival “Rokovo poletje” in 2015 at Šmarje pri Jelšah. That same year we recorded our first official video for the song “Vöra bije” by young composer Matija Krečič.

Under Mateja Kališnik we recorded our 8th CD with tenor Vid Lisjak and soprano Pia Brodnik. In June 2010 we performed at state festivities on National Day and regularly participated at other choral events.
