About the event
Des Knaben Wunderhorn
Ensemble Dissonance, known for its bold and stylistically diverse programmes, will collaborate with conductor Uroš Lajovic, soprano Nika Gorič and baritone Jaka Mihelač.
Book Presentation
“Gustav Mahler – Perilegomena to His Symphonies Nos. 1–7”
At 7:00 PM, prior to the concert, we will host a presentation of the new scholarly monograph Gustav Mahler – Perilegomena to His Symphonies Nos. 1–7, written by Professor Uroš Lajovic, a distinguished Slovenian conductor and longtime professor at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. The book is published by the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Arts Publishing House.
This unique publication offers a valuable collection of score annotations and interpretative insights that emerged from over fifty performances of Mahler’s first seven symphonies. Combining decades of conducting experience with profound theoretical understanding, the author provides an in-depth perspective on Mahler’s symphonic creativity.
The book will be presented by Prof. Lajovic himself, in a conversation led by Klemen Hvala.

More information
»Walking on the edge« could be said to be Ensemble Dissonance’s motto, since its members know that there can be no progress without deviation from the norms. Their programmes are inventive and bold and link different musical periods, styles and genres. At this year’s festival they will once again join forces with leading artists with whom they have already worked on previous occasions: soprano Nika Gorič, a regular guest soloist at the SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana and the Opera SNG Maribor; and baritone Jaka Mihelač, a soloist with the Berlin State Opera. The program features Mahler’s cycle of contrasting songs Des Knaben Wunderhorn in Klaus Simon’s arrangement for soprano, baritone and chamber ensemble.
