Carmina Slovenica is generally well known as one of the foremost avant-garde vocal ensembles, creating contemporary music projects "Choregie – vocal theatre" by introducing a new concept which incorporates music, drama, movement and other stage elements. However, this time we can hear the choir performing chamber music, live recorded at the international festival Music September.

The concerts were performed by international renowned musicians (Radovan Vlatkovic, Maria Graf, Nicoletta Sanzin, Aleš Kacjan, Andreas Stopner, Miljenka Grdan, etc.), performing Brahms's Four songs for a female choir with the accompaniment of two horns and a harp, op.17, Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, Villa-Lobos’s Quartour and Wesman’s Water under snow is weary. Concerts were conducted by Karmina Šilec.

The recognizable instinct of the conductor for the contrasting and subtle accentuation, diversity of colours and also a maximum intensity of voices across the whole dynamic scale …
