Where? Kongresni trg, Ljubljana
What? Concert of Godalkanje at the festival Junij in Ljubljana (Junij v Ljubljani).
Godalkanje is an educational sandbox in the field of various violin styles of playing the violin under the direction of Bojan Cvetrežnik and Barja Drnovšek. In Slovenia, which is in the anteroom of the Balkans and Western Europe, the phenomenon of performing violin expressions from different regions has emerged – from Bulgaria and Serbia to Sweden, France, Ireland … Instead of exaggerated arrangements, you will hear the primal energy of European music enriched with rock’n’roll attitude. You will hear the band Slovenian Fiddle Gang, which took the breath away of audiences in Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Serbia, Germany and of course in Slovenia in the last two years before the epidemic. It consists of teenagers who have dedicated their lifestyle to music. The youngest ones will also perform at the concert – Namuznjeni Godalkarji. A feast for the ears and the heart!
The event is co-financed by the City of Ljubljana.

The mentors will be Bojan Cvetrežnik and Barja Drnovšek. In the case of registered participants with different backgrounds, we will make two groups. We will introduce children to attractive tunes with the desire to strengthen technical stability, a sense of pulse, self-confidence in performance and the joy of playing. We will learn the technique of performing accompaniments by following a written chordal guide typical of jazz music. We will also pay attention to the safe physiological posture of children. We hope that the nice weather will allow us to play also in the nearby park or on the streets. If you have concerns or fears, you can contact us or those who had fear in previous years but no longer know it.

What? At the Godalkanje group workshops, we teach content that is not yet widely available in our country. We draw mainly from the treasury of violin tunes of different nations.
