Katice
Glinškova ploščad 1, SI-1000 Ljubljana
Petra Trobec, Artistic Director





Initially part of the France Marolt Academic Folklore Group, the female vocal group Katice was established in 1992 and comprises Alenka Trampuš Bakija, Barbara Povše Golob, Branka Krušić, Darinka Borštnik, Jasna Klinc, Marjana Cešek, Metka Knific, Naja Zapušek, Nataša Kosmač Bagar, Petra Trobec, Tanja Drašler, and Vesna Nastran.

Katice sing the traditional songs of all the Slovene regions in a highly original manner; they travel from the melancholic songs of the Panonic plain to the extraordinary harmonies of the Rezija region, taking a stroll through the diverse seasons and ages of life, from joy at birth past a carefree childhood, adolescent puns and marriage, all the way towards death. Their rich vocal repertoire is seasoned by the sounds of a whistle and an earthenware pot-bass. They are also accompanied by a traditional musician and they even dance to their songs.


Performances

Katice has performed at various festivals around Slovenia, including the Druga Godba Festival, Trnfest, and Festival Ljubljana in Ljubljana, the Okarina Folk Music Festival in Bled, the EBU Folk Contemporary Festival in Portorož, and Lent Festival in Maribor.

International concerts and festivals

Their first independent international performance was at the Traditional Singers and Musicians of the Alpine Countries event in Innsbruck (Austria) in 1992. In 2002 Katice performed at the international Folk Singing Festival (Malta), Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod (Wales, UK), Vis Musicae (Italy), and in 2003 on Celebration of Europe Day in Athens. They have also performed in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Poland, Ireland, Great Britain and Croatia.

Their first CD Katice was nominated twice for the Slovene award Zlati petelin; numerous other recordings have followed.
