Two young virtuosos will perform at the concert in Križanke. Flutist Metka Črnugelj began playing the flute at the age of seven. She performed her first independent recital age only eleven. Metka then continued her education at the Ljubljana Conservatory of Music under Nataša Paklar, and this year successfully finished the fourth year. She has won first prizes in various national and international competitions. This year the Ljubljana Conservatory of Music and Ballet awarded her the Škerjanec Prize for her exceptional achievements in 2021. In October, Metka will continue her training at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich under Andrea Lieberknecht.

Jana Rumpf began her musical training seven years ago under Valeria Kamplet, who continued to be her teacher at the Maribor Conservatory of Music and Ballet. She recently completed her first year of postgraduate studies with Karolina Šantl Zupan. Jana has held many performances in Slovenia and abroad, either as a soloist or as part of a chamber ensemble. In 2016 she was invited to play in the Slovenian Secondary School Symphony Orchestra to celebrate the 200th anniversary of public music schools. Jana regularly perfects her skills in seminars and summer schools taught by Slovenian and foreign flutists.

Free tickets for the concert are available at Križanke Box Office.
