Vlado Kreslin, returning to Cankarjev dom’s Gallus Hall for his thirty-fourth three-concert project, is a Slovenian poet, musician and troubadour who celebrates freedom, community, solidarity and the joy of living. After decades of music-making, he continues to surprise us and offer encouragement in our rapidly changing world with his new compositions. A musical phenomenon, Vlado Kreslin has been lifting the veil of mystery and baring his soul for decades with his directness, his poetry and his voice, holding a mirror to us all, allowing us to see ourselves in a way that is so subtle and refined that it’s all done unconsciously. Yet, we long for his music time and again.
