Slovenian Percussion Duo
Simon Klavzar and Joze Bogolin of Ljubljana, Slovenia, founded the Slovenian Percussion Duo in 2006. Simon and Joze were first and second prize winners in the TEMSIG Slovenian Percussion Competition in 2002 and 2005 (and again in 2008). As soloists, they played with a number of orchestras including the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, Ljubljana Opera, and the Academy Symphonic Orchestra of Ljubljana. Simon and Joze continue to perform as soloists as well as a duo in chamber and orchestral projects, in addition to featuring new percussion pieces from Slovenian composers including Peter Savli, Petra Strahovnik, Nejc Becan, Tina Mauko and Matej Bonin. The Slovenian Percussion Duo won Second Prize and the Audience Prize in the 2009 International Percussion Duo Competition in Luxembourg, and was Absolute Winner of the Competition. The duo also won First Prize in the International Percussion Competition Pendim in Bulgaria in 2009. Theirs is the first classical percussion duo in Slovenia, and their year-round concerts across the country are popularizing marimba with a new audience.
