Duo Lorenci-Mlacnik

It’s been quite a time that I posted something, to busy composing (for Mirasol Duo, Studenten Cantorij Utrecht – Ties Mellema and Arno Piters) and performing (with the Netherlands Wind Ensemble). More on the new compositions soon.
This post about a wonderful sax-percussion duo from Slovenia, Janina Lorenci and Lola Mlacnik, both studying at the Conservatorium of Amsterdam. They picked up my ‘Canciones Flamencas’ and performed them at a very prestigious concert at Ljubljana Castle for the commemoration ceremony for Slovenian Independence and Unity Day, in the presence of ex-president of Slovenia and organized by the mayor of Ljubljana. I decided to write them a new piece based on a slovenian poem by poet Neza Maurer.
