The Slovenian Youth Orchestra and Leopold I., after their sold-out Izštekani shows, are setting off on the nationwide MOČ BESEDE tour 

A fusion of symphonic sound and rap poetry that connects generations and opens up space for honest conversation is visiting 13 Slovenian towns and cities. 

Following the outstanding success of the full-length concert at a sold-out Slovenian Philharmonic and a completely sold-out performance at Val 202's Izštekani at Cankarjev dom (23 November) The Slovenian Youth Orchestra (SMO) with conductor Živa Ploj Peršuh, and one of the most recognisable voices of the contemporary Slovenian hip-hop scene, Leopold I., are setting off on an extensive tour of Slovenia.

MOČ BESEDE tour between 24 November and 9 December brings a unique experience that goes beyond the traditional concert format to 13 Slovenian towns and cities.

More than a concert: a space for honest conversation and closeness

Taking place during the festive season, the MOČ BESEDE tour acts as a catalyst for intergenerational dialogue and quality time together. Through a bold fusion of majestic symphonic orchestral power and the direct rap poetry of Leopold I., the project opens up complex social issues in a relaxed way that is accessible to young people and parents alike.

It is an experience that makes you stop and reminds you that mutual support, accepting vulnerability and genuine contact with those closest to you are what matter most in today's world. We also talked about this in our podcast, have a listen. 

“I have always wanted my music to have the power of an orchestra. When I hear the strings behind me, I get goosebumps,” says Leopold I. of the collaboration.
