    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…

    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,…

    When Gašper Kržmanc asks you to take photos, you go and take photos. No questions asked. An exceptional composer, guitarist, and human being, and I’m genuinely glad to see him finally getting the recognition he deserves. I’m a fan. Big Band Vrhnika marked their 30th anniversary with Rajske trube, zadonite, a special show of Christmas…

    The last Razelektreno show by Siddharta. At least for a while. Kranjska Gora felt special. Nearly two and a half hours of acoustic detours, with both the band and the crowd in high spirits. A December delight. Loud shows are coming next. Can’t wait. Light design by Urban Kolarič. You can find the full gallery…

    On September 20, I joined Rok Breznik and Flirrt as an extra pair of hands to capture their sold-out concert at Križanke. Celebrating a long career, the band treated fans to an evening of ambitious production and a generous lineup of guests, including Katarina Samobor (TABU), Jure Longyka, and Rudi Bučar, who joined Rok Lunaček…

    Thirty-four years of December concerts in Gallus Hall, and Vlado Kreslin still strips everything down to what matters. Voice, words and presence, even more timeless in black & white.

    Vlado Kreslin returns to Gallus Hall concerts for the thirty-fourth iteration. Can’t believe this was my first. Poet, musician, and troubadour, he remains an iconic constant in this fast-paced world. Joined by an extensive band and the Zimbabwean vocal trio Insingizi, whose a cappella traditions added another layer to the night, Kreslin once again reminded…

    Hi. You can call me “Slovenija”, but my friends can call me “TV”. It’s funny. And at the same time, it makes me a little angry and a lot sad. As a photographer, whenever a photograph catches my eye, my first instinct is to look for the author.

    A relaxed end-of-year whisky tasting with Samo from Whisky Club Slovenia and Marko from EtOH, hosted by Broken Bones Distillery in Ljubljana. A welcome and much-needed pause from December chaos, spent with good company, full glasses, and a lineup of Tamdhu whiskies that deserved proper attention. To top it off, we were joined remotely by…

    Božiček za en dan is a volunteer-run, non-profit initiative focused on the unseen work of giving. The sorting, checking, logistics, and delivery of gifts to socially endangered individuals who might otherwise be forgotten during the holidays. What began with a garage and a personal car has grown into a large operation involving warehouses, vans, and…
