Female Chamber Choir ČarniCe, Ljubljana, Slovenia, cond. Monika Fele,
klavir: Sara Rustja Turniški

Female chamber choir ČarniCe is among the more visible Slovenian choirs. It is a colorful roster of singers brought together by the love for quality choral singing. In over a decade, ČarniCe recorded four albums and collaborated with several conductors in their projects. Since 2014, the promising conductor Monika Fele leads the ensemble, with whom they have already accomplished a number of important achievements. They received 1st prize in the female choirs category at Naša pesem 2016 national competition and ranked 3rd overall. The same year, they took part in Polifonico international choral competition in Arezzo where they were first in two categories and won the second place in the Grand Prix. Their repertoire is chosen in line with the wish for new, yet unperformed, prefering to reach for works of young, still less accomplished Slovenian composers and give life to their compositions through joint collaboration.

KOR, Cagliari, Italy, art. dir. Caterina d'Angelo

The group was born in 2014 and is composed of five singers/pianists, all of whom went through many years of classical training in music schools. Dating back to 1992, they also share their most important singing experience in the mixed choir Centro Universitario Musicale in Cagliari, a "nursery" for what has since become their great passion: a cappella music. As KOR, they still actively collaborate with Centro Universitario Musicale. Being musicians allows them to write their own arrangements and to be very versatile in approaching different genres. During their two years of activity, they have had the honor of singing with the great cello player Mario Brunello, and recently took part in Vocalmente (Fossano). There, they worked with Peder Karlsson and Katarina Henryson from The Real Group, whose enthusiasm in working with them resulted in collaboration with Peder as occasional arranger of their contemporary a cappella songs.
