Probably the hardest caption I’ve written in a long time. The plan was simple. New Year’s Eve in bed, lights out early, gently snoring by 10 PM. December was a lot, and honestly, even Niet playing at Trg francoske revolucije wasn’t tempting enough. But when Dan D announced they were ending their journey with a…

Siddharta, Nova Gorica

Last show of the year. Not exactly common to have a proper ‘štrom’ gig on a Monday, but I’m not complaining. A few days before closing out 2025, doing it with a band like this felt right. Still riding the Novo mesto high, I was tired but excited. Warmer air, an early 20:30 start, and…

Siddharta, Novo mesto

Happy birthday, Janez. The second-to-last show of the year. Cold, yes, but easily one of those nights where everything clicked. The band, the crew, the crowd. The energy on stage was something else. Huge thanks to Damjan Končar, who set the bar high with exceptional photos from the Litija show the day before. That left…

Extending the original post with a small set of additional backstage photographs in black & white. From the depths of Cankarjev dom, some smiles, before the show nerves, a sneaky selfie, and a room full of remarkable artists. Happy to be part of the story.

Walking through Cankarjev dom over the past few months brought a quiet sense of pride. Seeing my work printed at scale, promoting Janez Dovč’s return to Gallus Hall with Sounds of Slovenia, ignited a small spark of celebration in an otherwise turbulent end of the year. This end-of-year concert brought together tradition, poetry, and music…

A New Year’s concert held on December 22 in Kamnik, two nights in a row, both sold out. The concert featured soprano Beti Bratina, tenor Gregor Ravnik, and cellist Sebastian Bertoncelj, with Marjan Bunič as host. Music by Mozart, Offenbach, Strauss, Puccini, Prokofiev, and others shaped an evening between classical and a festive end-of-year atmosphere.

The Slovenian Armed Forces Orchestra closed the year with a festive concert led by conductor Mitja Dragolič, joined by vocal ensemble Vox Arsana and Alfi Nipič. The evening moved between tradition and celebration, whilst the program traveled from classical pillars to familiar holiday melodies. Weaving together Shostakovich, Bizet, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Slovenian classics, and iconic film…

Pihalni orkester Logatec, Logatec

Continuing the orchestra theme, I joined Pihalni orkester Logatec on December 13 for their annual New Year’s concert. Led by conductor Andrej Zupan and joined by honorary guest Tilen Artač, the orchestra filled the Logatec sports hall with a mostly local crowd and an evening of familiar classics, while paying homage to Laibach, Zoran Predin,…
