Slovenian Railways Wind Orchestra featuring Maja Keuc

The Slovenian Railways Wind Orchestra is a versatile ensemble that has been preserving its cultural identity and ensuring the highest level of concert performance in Slovenia for more than 120 years. Over the decades, the orchestra has far surpassed the local environment from which it originated, establishing itself as a cultural ambassador of Slovenian railway workers and proudly representing Slovenian culture and exceptional musicianship around the world.

Based in Zidani Most, the Slovenian Railways Wind Orchestra is also renowned for blending tradition with contemporary musical influences. In the spirit of cultural collaboration, the ensemble frequently performs with a variety of acclaimed artists. Their November concert will feature a rich and diverse programme, crowned by a performance from the outstanding Slovenian vocalist Maja Keuc.

As the first and only active railway wind orchestra in Slovenia, its more than seventy members continue to uphold its founding mission — representing the tradition of their hometown and Slovenia’s rich cultural heritage at home and abroad since as early as 1902.
