Thursday nights featuring contemporary music at Švicarija – MGLC:
Bowrain
Bowrain, the Slovenian composer, pianist and producer, whose original compositions confront elements of electronic and acoustic music based on piano passages, cinematic arrangements and ambient music, will appear in the hall of Švicarija at 9 pm. For this occassion he will be joined by string quartet Vita Kobal (violin), Matija Krečič (violin), Ema Kobal (cello) and Miha Firšt (double bass).
Multi-faceted musician Tine Grgurevič has been active under the name of Bowrain since 2014, when he released his debut studio long-play Far Out, which appeared like a breath of fresh air on the local scene with its hybrid blend of contemporary classical and independent pop. In addition to that, this chameleon-like artist also creates for theatre, film and ambiental art installations, while collaborating on both studio and live performances, regularly attracting numerous collaborators – virtuoso musicians. The live performances of Bowrain’s compositions are always unique, as they add a bit of unpredictability and openness to the basic elements of musical expression. The concert at Švicarija will present an extensive repertoire by this multi-faceted musician, who will shortly be releasing a new record entitled Brotherhood.
The concerts of contemporary music take place in the large hall at Švicarija – MGLC, every Thursday in July. These range from electronic to purely hybrid orientations, based on both resampling and virtuosic original innovations. The cycle features Slovenian musicians and groups that currently belong to the pinnacle of contemporary music of unconventional genre.
