About the project

Video

Press

… unmistakably filling the air with hypnotic magic… a spectacle of musical and visual perfection… a demonstration of impeccable technique and brilliance… a coherent and harmonious performance…... another proof of the world format ...
... parade of vocal virtuosity, brilliant transitions from one linguistic, rhythmic and mood modus into the other …
... full and vital performance ...
... opening up new cultural as well as general civilisation horizons ...
Delo

… masters of complex rhythms, fine tuning in both tonal and dissonant repertoire, extended vocal techniques, dynamic variety, dance and gesture, and expressive communication…
San Francisco Classical Voice

… ritual of dimmed light … "deviation" from set practice of vocal instrumental ensembles … a vocal institution performing some sort of a function of joining trends and current movements... vocal totality clearly present … performing discipline and dynamic contrasting …
... daring, modern repertoire, without a scent of the populist ...
... a passionate journey through the history of music, experimentation with sound, vocal technique, movement, even light ...
Večer

… a carefully considered choice of repertoire, always round-up into a narrative whole…
… Šilec provided the much needed musical information …
… Šilec’s choir is always stunning, this time in its absolute concentration and condition…
… brilliant execution of Feldman’s piece Three Voices stood out … incredible concentration of soloist of the ensemble !Kebataola!...
Dnevnik

… goals are high, artistic, full of passion …
… wholeness of the event: the body is an instrument as a whole, movement is an extension of the tone, dramaturgy resembles a ritual … an outstanding parallel of modern consumerism with artistic creations of minimalism …
… going back to the roots, to the foundations of music expression … to the core of vocal archetype … lots of synergy and music extensions …
Primorske novice

… a boom of scenic elements … determination of interlaced voices which have – a bold gesture – poked into a modern repertoire …
… a relationship established between the modern and the archaic, between the speed of contemporary daily routine and the enigmatic character of the ancient mythological world …
… CS performs sovereignly the "rapt" compositions …
… scenic element spacious and ascetic … 
… seeping into scenic art represents a novelty in the music sphere in Slovenia and the world …
