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.

Tracing its origins back to 1919, Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory has a long history. Recently relocated to a newly erected modern building, KGBL’s Hall provides the venue for concerts by secondary school students and guest artists. Location: Ljubljana

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.

Built in 1961, Kino Šiška is one of the finest examples of modernist architecture. The building was designed by Slovenian architect Božidar Gvardjančič. It is positioned in the centre of a suburban neighbourhood, with the main facade overlooking Celovška Street. In 1962, the City of Ljubljana entrusted the running of the building to Ljubljanski kinematografi – Ljubljana Cinemas. The cinema screened films between 1964 and until the end of the 1980s, when attendance decreased, and the building was only available for various events and lectures. The cinema re-opened in 1994. With the arrival of the Kolosej multiplex in 2001, Kino Šiška and its 725-seat cinema were forced to cease operating for the second time. Since 2009, Kino Šiška has served as a main Slovenian institution specialised in contemporary music concerts and complementing visual and performing arts programmes. Location: Ljubljana
