The Schallaburg Advent festival

The Zbor sv. Nikolaja accepted the invitation from the Upper Austria provincial government and its cultural division to participate from 15th to 16th December 2007 at the Advent festival Schallaburg (Musikalische Gestaltung des Advents auf der Schallaburg) at the Schallaburg castle near the town of Melk, where also different presentations took place in an attempt to promote Slovenia and its culture. Slovenia was represented by the Zbor sv. Nikolaja, the Deseti brat octet, the Latschach tambourine ensemble and the zither duet Mateja Avšič and Alenka Ilijaš.



In the festival hall, the Zbor sv. Nikolaja (wearing traditional Slovene folk garments) and Klemen Karlin at the piano performed twice the Slovenski božič (Slovene Christmas) by Matija Tomc and on many other occasions in different parts of the castle the choir presented the listeners with Slovene christmas and folk songs.
