1st concert from the cycle Milko Lazar & Matjaž Drevenšek with Guests at the Ljubljana Castle 2015
In the music world today, we encounter composers and performers who follow very different creative paths; some are narrowly profiled, almost subspecialised, while others establish their creative space extremely broadly. Amongst the latter, we find the creators of the programme of five concerts at the Ljubljana Castle – Milko Lazar and Matjaž Drevenšek. Although they took “their” instruments as the point of departure – the saxophone, the piano and the harpsichord – they will, in the course of the five evenings, create a kaleidoscope of compositions across various periods and styles with the help of internationally acclaimed colleagues and friends (Zlatko Kaučič, the SOS Saxophone Orchestra, Marko Hatlak, the Zagreb Saxophone Quartet, Vasilij Meljnikov, Nino de Gleria, Brane Zorman and others). We will witness an apparent confrontation of the old and the new (J. S. Bach – Aldo Kumar and Milko Lazar), as well as unusual combinations of instruments (accordion, saxophone, harpsichord) and genres (ethno and minimalism, acoustic and electronic instruments, etc.). On this musical journey, we will discover both music and ourselves. As Milko Lazar put it: “Deep down, every person is ethno. When we learn the rules of life and how to engage with it we largely forget about that ancient core within us. But whoever sets out anew, with honest intentions, on this long and unpredictable search, is bound to rediscover the hidden core within, finding oneself in the process.”

Milko Lazar & Zlatko Kaučič
Discovering a new ethno music through an improvisational dialogue between the piano and percussion (music by M. Lazar and Z. Kaučič)
The two internationally renowned musicians – composer and pianist Milko Lazar and percussionist and composer Zlatko Kaučič – are above all improvisers. On St Gregory’s Day, they will take us on an exciting journey through unknown musical territories.
“Lazar-Kaučič is a duo that has found a way to a common language with completely different musical points of departure. This is a genuine recipe for creating something new, for the enrichment of both musicians in a new ‘community’. Their music re-establishes the musical point of departure, the original ‘sin’ of creation– it is about inspiration, it is about thought and narrative, it is about a personal confession and, not least, it is about a concept that can draw the listener in as well. We could almost say that the musicians have discovered a magic formula that no longer leaves the slightest room for doubt and hesitation, as the music once again draws on the veins of pleasure and passion.” Jože Štucin, Primorske novice
