The award-winning mixed chamber choir Carinthia Cantat was established in 1996 by its conductor Tone Gašper in Slovenj Gradec. The choir, which today consists of 20 singers, gives performances at venues all around Slovenia. It represents an important part of the Slovenj Gradec musical culture because of its special focus on the music of composer Hugo Wolf and on folk music from the Carinthian region (Koroška). Under the leadership of its founder-conductor Tone Gašper, the choir has been actively performing and recording their repertoire, which consists of music from different time periods and genres by Slovene and international composers. The choir performs a varied repertoire, including pop songs, Slovene folk music, gospel and spiritual music from different countries as well as classical music (Renaissance, classical and romantic period).
