Poletni orkestrski kamp 2020
#POK2020
Ljubljana, Ptuj
August 2020
On the first three days, sectional exercises for individual instrumental groups took place in the morning. They were led by thirteen professional musicians, members of Slovenian orchestras, professors and soloists. In the afternoon, the participants met guest artists Dominika Bagola, Jadranka Juras, Emke, Vasko Atanasovski and Urša Sterhar Benčina, learned the basics of musical and theatrical improvisation and discovered different stages of their career paths in different musical genres. At an additional workshop, the participants learned about the Just1planet and Care4climate project, which will accompany them in future editions of the camp. We have Only1planet!, is the leading slogan of the 8-year-long project, within which the stakeholders, through various activities, strive for an efficient transition to a low-carbon society. One of the activations was also a concert by the Slovenian Youth Orchestra (SMO) as part of the Ljubljana Festival.
The following days, the orchestra rehearsed in joint rehearsals with the soloists. The chosen programme was demanding and a great challenge for all instrumental groups. It consisted of works of predominantly Slovenian creativity, but also included lesser-known works by authors Carl Nielsen and Lars-Erik Larsson, as well as popular excerpts from Georges Bizet's L'Arlésienne Suite and Jazz Suite no. 1 by Dmitri Shostakovich, as well as the jazz standard The Man I Love by brothers Ira and George Gershwin and the popular hit Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and the legendary Slovenian song Vrtiljak by Jure Robežnik. Along with classical masterpieces, the central part of the programme was dedicated to singer-songwriter and writer Dominik Bagola - Ballader. His ballads and bouncy songs were the cue for this year's musical carousel. On it, in addition to Balladero's hits in masterful symphonic arrangements by Matija Krečič, we also played the music of the Maribor rapper Emke and invited mezzo-soprano and jazz singer Jadranka Juras to duets with Balladero.
