Plečnik & A-Cappella is an international vocal music festival in Ljubljana that creates a unique dialogue between music and architecture. Since its establishment in 2020, the festival has been successfully presented in six consecutive editions (2020–2025), becoming a distinctive cultural event in Slovenia and beyond.
 

The festival is dedicated to the architectural legacy of Jože Plečnik, whose works in Ljubljana were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021. By placing vocal performances within his iconic architectural spaces, the festival offers an immersive experience where sound, space, and cultural heritage meet.
 

Concerts take place at selected Plečnik landmarks across Ljubljana, including the National and University Library (NUK), the Church of St. Michael in the Marsh, the Church of St. Cyril and Methodius in Bežigrad, the Cobbler’s Bridge, Plečnik’s House garden in Trnovo, and other carefully chosen urban and sacred spaces designed by Plečnik.
 

Over the years, the festival has featured leading vocal ensembles from Slovenia and abroad, including the Slovenian Octet, the Slovenian Philharmonic Choir, the Vienna Girls Choir, the VIKRA Chamber Choir (Italy), Jazzva Ensemble, APZ Tone Tomšič, Carmen Manet Choir, Megaron Chamber Choir, Ave Chamber Choir, the Emil Komel Mixed Youth Choir (Italy), and the Lalá Vocal Ensemble (Austria), among many others.
 

Through the encounter of Plečnik’s visionary architecture and vocal artistry, the festival offers audiences a refined and immersive cultural experience that connects music, space, and heritage in a uniquely powerful way.
