"Tradition is progress preserved, and progress is tradition continued."
Edvard Ravnikar, the architect who designed the building of Cankarjev dom

After last year's inspiring and exciting New Year's Eve concert, O This Night, Full of Grace, (Ivan Cankar), which concluded with a standing ovation, Janez Dovč & Sounds of Slovenia return to CD’s Gallus Hall. The title of the concert, I Touch Everything Through You, Earth (Edvard Kocbek), refers to the ability of modern man to get attuned to the natural world, our living world that has the power to heal. Under the artistic direction of accordionist and composer Janez Dovč, Sounds of Slovenia will perform a concert that blends the emotional depth of folk tunes with musical settings of works by Slovenian poets: Ivan Cankar, Lili Novy, Simon Jenko, Srečko Kosovel, Edvard Kocbek, and many others. The concert is an opportunity to experience the exquisite beauty of Slovenian soundscapes, a fresh intertwinement of voice and sound, music and exquisite lighting design. Join us for this special event in Gallus Hall, a venue boasting unparalleled acoustics.
