A Slovenian singer and songwriter known for her signature blend of poetry and music, contemporary folk, and diverse cultural traditions, Katja Šulc employs an eclectic musical approach, a method built on atmosphere, intimate interpretation, storytelling, and sound effects. After obtaining an education in Slovenia and studying at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York, Šulc has released five studio albums, whose common thread is poetry in music.  Her latest album, West Wind Blow From Your Prairie Nest (ŠKUC, 2024), reached the World Music Chart Europe Top 20 and received a nomination for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.

At this concert, she will journey through the landscapes where she encountered the poetry of her albums. The special guest of the evening will be Istrian musician Marino Kranjac, with whom she sets the poetry of Istria to music.
