Reserve time at 6pm on Saturday 13th February for the British-Slovene Society’s special online Prešeren Evening. We are preparing an attractive programme of recitals and singing to mark the 220th anniversary of the poet’s birth. We will inform you of the link nearer the time.
Due to the Covid pandemic we will not be able to meet in person, and so we will produce our Prešeren Evening in the same way as the last Christmas Carol Service. For those who could not attend that, here is the link to the recording on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hDtKUwsmoVE.
The Christmas event caught the attention of the Slovene Radio Prvi channel which featured it on the evening of Christmas day: https://4d.rtvslo.si/arhiv/slovencem-po-svetu/174742304. We collected £275 for the Barka charity we support in Slovenia.
Also, you may know that the traditional Slovene hayrack (kozolec) in Harcourt Arboretum has been dismantled but we are making arrangements for a new one to be set up in Henley-on-Thames. We hope to be able to celebrate 30 years of Slovenia’s independence around the new hayrack.
