==Members==
The sextet of clarinets is a unique ensemble in Slovenia as it comprises Slovenia's third generation of musicians, who play a wide range of wind instruments including the standard orchestral B flat and A clarinets, alto clarinet, basset horn, the smaller E flat clarinet, and the largest bass and contrabass clarinets. The group is currently led by the clarinettist of the [[RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra]], professor at the [[Academy of Music]] and member of the [[Ariart Woodwind Quintet]], [[Jože Kotar]]. All of the sextet's musicians combine performing and teaching careers and collaborate with many Slovene orchestras such as the [[Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra]].

==Performances and repertoire==
The Slovene Clarinet Sextet mostly presents a contemporary music repertoire though it also plays arrangements of classical music pieces. It has performed and recorded in Slovenia, Italy, Serbia, and Montenegro. Their repertoire includes works by 20th-century composers such as Yvonne Desportes and Raymond Loucheur, as well as contemporary Slovene composers such as [[Bojan Glavina]], [[Larisa Vrhunc]], and [[Ivo Petrić]].

==Discography==
The [[Discography Unit, RTV Slovenia]] released a CD entitled ''Family'' containing the sextet's performances of works by Raymond Loucheur and Marc Eychenne among others.
