Uroš Krek

[citation needed] Although he was strongly influenced by earlier 20th-century classical music and use of neo-classicist aesthetics, he was also noted for incorporating elements of folklore into his compositions.

[2] Krek's compositions covered virtually all musical ensembles, but his best work was created for stringed instruments.

On November 20, 2008, a concert by the Slovenian Symphony Orchestra was held in the Cankar Centre's Gallus Hall in Ljubljana in his memory.

The orchestra, conducted by Marko Letonja, featured soloist Jože Kotar on clarinet.

[1] They performed a number of pieces such as Krek's Concert Fantasia for Clarinet and Orchestra but also the late-Romantic Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier suite.
