The Academic Choir Maribor, part of the cultural society KUD Študent since 1964, is a key contributor to student, youth, and amateur culture in Maribor. It represents Slovenia at international events, competitions, and festivals. Initially founded as the Academic Choir Boris Kraigher under the University of Maribor, it became the Academic Choir Maribor in 1991. The choir has been led by various conductors, including Tadeja Vulc, who has been its artistic leader since 2012. The 50-member choir excels in international competitions and regularly performs concerts and participates in projects.

Driven by a deep desire for creating, composer Tadeja Vulc studied composition at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana under Assoc. Prof. Uroš Rojko and furthered her studies in composition at the University of Music in Vienna with composer Michael Jarrell. Since 1995, Tadeja Vulc has been devoting her time to choral conducting. She has conducted many different choirs and ensembles in various projects throughout the country and abroad, and received numerous awards in recognition of choral performance and repertoire selection.
