A Slovenian singer and songwriter known for her signature blend of poetry and music, contemporary folk, and diverse cultural traditions, Katja Šulc employs an eclectic musical approach, a method built on atmosphere, intimate interpretation, storytelling, and sound effects. After obtaining an education in Slovenia and studying at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York, Šulc has released five studio albums, whose common thread is poetry in music.  Her latest album, West Wind Blow From Your Prairie Nest (ŠKUC, 2024), reached the World Music Chart Europe Top 20 and received a nomination for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.

At this concert, Katja Šulc will take the audience on a journey through the landscapes that inspire the poetry in her albums. From Romani to Mexican and North American Indigenous worlds, all the way to Istria – the magical region at the heart of her new project, developed during her artist residency in Kubed. She will premiere her upcoming single Kubejski, featuring musical settings of poems by Alojz Kocjančič, the bard of Istria. The special guest will be the Istrian musician Marino Kranjac.
 

Cankarjev dom’s new music and literature series taking place in the Alma Karlin Hall focuses on an interlacement of music and narration flowing seamlessly into one another in the search for meaning, rhythm, and emotion. The series opens up space for an intimate yet engaging experience, where poetry, narrative, and music come together in an insightful reflection on our times.
