Festival Maribor promotes itself at Stadfest Wien
26.05.2011
ON MAY 29TH THE SLOVENE PHILHARMONIC STRING CHAMBER ORCHESTRA will give a concert at the renowned STADTFEST FESTIVAL (VIENNA, MICHAELERPLATZ, 4.30 P.M.), sharing the stage with the pianist Elena Misirkova, the acclaimed ambassador of Macedonian culture. The concert will open with the Macedonian composer Vlastimir Nikolovski and Polonaise Op. 53 by Frédéric Chopin, followed by the orchestra performing Sonatina for Strings by the Slovenian composer Uroš Krek and Divertimento by W. A. Mozart.
The performance of the Slovenian orchestra also offers a wonderful opportunity for both, the presentation as well as the promotion of the European Capital of Culture, Maribor 2012.
Along with the Public Institute Maribor 2012, the Slovene Philharmonic String Chamber Orchestra is the producer of the Maribor Festival - 'one of Europe’s finest summer festival' (Daily Telegraph), which is one of the most important events of the European Capital of Culture.
In the coming year, the Slovenian town Maribor will be the European Capital of Culture. This will be the largest project in Maribor’s history, consequently bringing a new life to both, the town itself as well as its whole region. Throughout the year, Maribor 2012 will be presenting over 4,000 events in six partner towns – Maribor, Slovenj Gradec, Velenje, Ptuj, Novo Mesto, and Murska Sobota – which will surely cater to all tastes and leave no wishes unfulfilled. We promise thrilling experiences, grandiose spectacles, peaceful relaxation, having fun, and above all a heartfelt welcome. Every day.
