Calendar od events - August 2020

In August, the focus is on events in Kamfest 2020, where the Intermunicipal Museum Kamnik participates as a co-organizer and supporter, namely the Zaprice Stage with concerts and events within the View through the Museum into the Gallery (interview with painter Klementina Golija and opening of the Žarko Vrezec exhibition).

Guided tour of the exhibition

SLOVENIAN MAJOLICA

Majolica has a special status in the Slovenian tradition. It has become, so to speak, a mythological object, closely connected with the identity of the Slovene nation. As a symbol of good and happy company, it is sung by folk songs.

Many people know the handles for wine – majolica, products of folk potters. The best known are those made by the Svit Kamnik ceramic factory from the beginning of the 1950s until the end of its existence in 2008. They are equipped with city coats of arms, flower arrangements or greetings for important anniversaries and milestones, were a popular gift and decoration of home cooking. However, wine handles – majolica were not the only ones made, many new motifs and patterns were added to this traditional form in the Ljubljana factory Dekor.

After the exhibition, we will be taken by the co-authors of the exhibition Slovenian Majolica Saša Bučan and Marko Kumer, Intermunicipal Museum Kamnik.

Guided tours are free.

Preliminary registrations to the e-mail address info@nms.si or by phone 01/241 44 04 or 051 253 781. The number of places is limited. The use of protective masks is mandatory in the museum.

KAMFEST 2020

ZAPRICE STAGE (ODER ZAPRICE)

When Valvasor drew the Zaprice Castle towards the end of the seventeenth century, he probably did not think that a museum would develop in this place less than four hundred years later (even if we told him what it was, it would probably not be entirely clear to him), containing even his artifacts. Even less did he imagine that something what people today call a festival happens on this hill from time to time.

The lapidarium of Zaprice Castle has served as one of the occasional venues for the festival in recent years, and in its seventeenth edition it will once again become one of the permanent stages. Together with the Medobčinski muzej Kamnik, the organizer prepared a program with a slightly more (let’s say) serious touch. So, if the slope doesn’t cause you too many problems, you are really nicely invited to take a walk to Zaprice and enjoy terribly good things that will invigorate your spirit.

With lavish ambient musical vibes, we will navigate between old music and modern jazz expression. On Monday, Gospod predsednik will visit us, and later in the week, the sound senses will vibrate at the Duo Mori & Ofak concert and flutist music, which will end with a musical exploration of Duo Ponte.

From 8 to 13 August at 21:00 at the lapidarium of Zaprice Castle

Saturday, 8 August / Musica Aeterna: Cappella Justinopolitana, old music, at 21:00
Cappella Justinopolitana is an ensemble that performs old music from Slovenian Istria. The founder of the ensemble is Marino Kranjac, a musician who dedicates himself with zeal to searching for the past of Istrian music. He started with the folk genre, but the path of restoring musical practices leads him back to the medieval and renaissance culture of the Istrian and wider Mediterranean area. In the ensemble, he brought together young musicians from his environment who play with authentic replicas of historical instruments. The event is organized in cooperation with JSKD OI Kamnik.

Sunday, 9 August / Aleksandra Čermelj & Gregor Ftičar Duo, jazz, at 21:00
The duo of Aleksandra Čermelj and Gregor Ftičar is the result of many years of cooperation and friendship between the two musicians, which dates back a decade. Both trained in jazz benches and with open ears to other genres. The dance of the voice with the piano, the intertwining of one’s own compositions with foreign ones, the improvisation of the moment and the communication above the words – everything calls for a unique evening. In two.

Monday, 10 August / Žiga Čamernik: Gospod predsednik, monocomedy, at 21:00
Would you like to know what a mix of Jesus Christ, Hamlet, Goethe, Dragotin Kette, and maybe someone else looks like? Such a person is more than just an ordinary authority. He is a modern-day messiah and a subject, for whom everyone supposes he knows. There is no steam under the sun in the persuasiveness of his address, and most likely not in the entire galaxy. See for yourself.

Tuesday, 11 August / Duo Mori & Ofak, world music, at 21:00
In the decades of joint creation, a synergy has developed between two people of Dravograd, Mori and Ofak, which gives them a unique and recognizable musical expression. The latter is carefully nurtured, developed and upgraded, while complementing each other. Foreign media describe their compositions as poetic music of the world, as they intertwine serenity, joy, connection, and timelessness. Although the works are instrumental, while listening, the audience feels stories about nature, friendship, love, and distant worlds that approach through the beauty of music and touch every listener. The event is organized in cooperation with the Medobčinski muzej Kamnik.

Wednesday, 12 August/ MG Flautet, classical music, at 21:00
As a rule, flutes are that section of the band that is always the first in rehearsals, where each member practices all the flutist parts. Just in case. And the ones from the oboe. And all small prints of clarinets, saxophones and trumpets. This time, the lapidarium of Zaprice Castle will be turned into a time machine. The woodwind unit of the Mengeš Band under the name MG Flautet will take us there and across the music line with the sounds of overtures from the Il barbiere di Siviglia to Die Fledermaus and newer musicals and cartoons.

Thursday, 13 August / Duo Ponte, world music, at 21:00
Duo Ponte is a contact of musicians who, through their own interpretations, try to overcome the distances between the cultures of the European south from east to west and beyond, all the way to the New World. Singer Alja Petric and guitarist Damjan Stanišić joined the duet in exploring the musical tradition of diverse cultures around the world. The roots of the band Duo Ponte go back to 2014, when the musicians combined ideas and presented their collaboration at the first concerts. Since then, they have been actively performing on many Slovenian and foreign stages. With unique authorial arrangements, they created their own artistic expression. The event is organized in cooperation with the Medobčinski muzej Kamnik.

LOOKING through THE MUSEUM into THE GALLERY (POGLED skozi MUZEJ v GALERIJO)
You will once again be served with a strong art program. Part of this will again be inextricably linked to the musical events that are being created together with the central museological institution in Kamnik.
