KGBL CHAMBER CHOIR
The flourishing of the choral movement at the Conservatory of music and ballet in Ljubljana began in 2010, when the composer and conductor Ambroz Chopi took over the leadership of the choir. After four years of growing quality and high rankings in competitions, the decision was made to split the choir into two groups. The kgbl choir, whose members are all those who do not attend school orchestras, and the Kgbl Chamber Choir, which consists of about 45 singers who want greater challenges, upgrading their vocal technical skills and singing more demanding choral literature at a higher quality level. The chamber choir regularly collaborates with vocal pedagogues Edita Garchevi / Kozhelj and Tatjana Vasle. The conductor is assisted in conducting the choir by assistant conductors Rebekah Dobravec, Masha Prah and Lenart Ulaga. The choir's repertoire is composed in a genre and stylistic variety from Renaissance to contemporary music. Special attention in the composition of the programs is devoted to the music of contemporary Slovenian composers. In the last three years, the choir has commissioned compositions from eminent Slovenian composers such as Lojze Lebic , Tadeja Vulc , Damijan Mochnik , zrz Sojar Voglar , Peter Shavli , Andrej Makor , Tine Bec , Matej Kastelic , Klara Mlakar , Jan Triller and Federica Lo Pinto , whose compositions the choir promotes with great success on concert and competition stages in Slovenia and abroad.

KOMORNI ZBOR KGBL
Razcvet zborovskega gibanja na Konservatoriju za glasbo in balet v Ljubljani se je začel leta 2010, ko je skladatelj in dirigent Ambrož Čopi prevzel vodstvo zbora. Po štirih letih rastoče kvalitete in visokih uvrstitvah na tekmovanjih je bila sprejeta odločitev, da se zbor razdeli v dve skupini. Zbor KGBL, katerega člani so vsi, ki ne obiskujejo šolskih orkestrov, in Komorni zbor KGBL, ki ga sestavlja približno 45 pevcev, ki si želijo večjih izzivov, nadgradnje vokalno tehničnih znanj in petja zahtevnejše zborovske literature na višji kakovostni ravni. Komorni zbor redno sodeluje z vokalnima pedagoginjama Edito Garčević Koželj in Tatjano Vasle. Dirigetu pri vodenju zbora pomagajo asistenti dirigenta Rebeka Dobravec, Maša Prah in Lenart Ulaga. Repertoar zbora je sestavljen žanrsko in stilno raznoliko od renesanse do sodobne glasbe. Posebno pozornost pri sestavi programov je posvečena glasbi sodobnih slovenskih skladateljev. V zadnjih treh letih je zbor naročil skladbe eminentnim slovenskim skladateljem, kot so Lojze Lebič , Tadeja Vulc , Damijan Močnik , Črt Sojar Voglar , Peter Šavli , Andrej Makor , Tine Bec , Matej Kastelic , Klara Mlakar , Jan Triler in Federica Lo Pinto , katerih skladbe zbor z velikimi uspehi promovira na koncertnih in tekmovalnih odrih v Sloveniji in tujini. Zbor se je z velikimi uspehi predstavil na mednarodnem tekmovanju v Talinu ( Estonija , 2015), kjer je v kategoriji komornih zborov dosegel drugo in med mešanimi zbori tretje mesto, na mednarodnem tekmovanju v Moskvi ( Rusija , 2016) je prejel veliko nagrado, istega leta pa dosegel še prvo mesto med mešanimi zbori in bil najvišje uvrščeni zbor slovenskega zborovskega tekmovanja Naša pesem v Mariboru (Slovenija, 2016). Leto 2017 je bilo za zbor posebej uspešno. Na mednarodnem zborovskem tekmovanju Gallus Maribor je Komorni zbor KGBL bil med vrhunskimi zbori uvrščen v finale tekmovanja in dosegel drugo mesto, na mednarodnem tekmovanju v Tolosi ( Španija ) je v polifoniji prejel prvo mesto, v folklori pa drugo mesto. Leta 2019 je na mednarodnem zborovskem tekmovanju v Corku ( Irska ) postal absolutni zmagovalec, med epidemijo pa je se je leta 2021 udeležil virtualnega tekmovanja World choir festival v Hongkongu ( Hong Kong , 2021) in prejel zlato priznanje, na istem tekmovanju dve leti kasneje pa dve zlati priznanji in osvojen Grand prix tekmovanja – nagrada Choir of the world, dirigent pa še posebno nagrado za najboljšega dirigenta tekmovanja. Zbor se je uspešno predstavil na abonmajskih koncertih in festivalih po Sloveniji (Festival Arsana, Sakralni abonma, Kogojevi dnevi, Plečnik – a cappella, Sacrum convivium … ), na Festivalu Europa cantat v Ljubljani (2021) ter tujini: Stockholm ( Švedska , 2016), Borja, Ordizia, Getxo, Doneztebe (Španija, 2017), Mednarodni zborovski festival Basel ( Švica , 2018), Mednarodni zborovski festival Tajpej (Tajvan, 2018) in Peking ( Kitajska , 2018), Torino ( Italija , 2021), Florilege Vocal de Tours ( Francija , 2022), Voces of Spirit ( Avstrija , 2022) in Budapest Choral Festival ( Madžarska , 2023). Poleti je zbor povabljen na prestižne festivale, kot so Festival Laureates v Provansi (Francija, 2023), Taipei Choral Festival (Tajvan, 2023) in Mednarodno tekmovanje Guido D'Arezzo (Italija, 2023), kjer je predstavljal sodobno slovensko ustvarjalnost. Zbor je izdal dve zgoščenki; Credo (2018) in Timeless (2020). Zadnjo Ubi caritas et amor (2022) s skladbami Tineta Beca pa v sodelovanju z APZ Univerze na Primorskem.
