The symposium finished with an extraordinary concert at St. John’s church in Slovenske Konjice, where besides local choral groups a few of the best young Slovenian classical musicians and singers performed works of Bach, Mozart, Franck, Massenet, Monti and Puccini. It was a magical conclusion of this two-day event which saw numerous volunteers of all generations participating in the organization.
