  • He brought valuable international experience to the orchestra, having previously worked abroad before returning to Ljubljana in 1994.

After a six-year tenure leading the Slovenian Philharmonic, acclaimed oboist Matej Šarc has rejoined the orchestra as a performer.

Šarc, considered one of the finest oboists in Slovenian music history, returned to Ljubljana in 1994, bringing with him extensive international experience. He skillfully applied this expertise during his leadership of one of Slovenia's central musical institutions.

His musical approach is characterized by openness and inclusivity. Šarc is known for accommodating audience preferences while also presenting them with artistic challenges. Having been employed by the Slovenian Philharmonic for thirty-one years, he possesses a deep understanding of the ensemble and its audience, having participated in numerous performances as an oboist and closely observing audience reactions.

Today, the audience has a much more refined taste. This is also reflected in ticket sales. If a Thursday concert is really good, we can expect 200 to 300 more tickets sold for the repeat performance on Friday than usual.
