“Is it not strange that sheep’s guts should hale souls out of men’s bodies?”<\/p>\n
– William Shakespeare<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Mozart\u2019s days music was played by rubbing the hair of a horse`s tail over stretched sheep’s gut, plucking them with fingers or inventing certain devices to do so\u2026 These days, rather then gut (to the relief of the sheep), various types of metal\u00a0are used as strings. The m<\/span>usic thankfully remains the same, as do the musicians and the listeners. <\/p>\n You are cordially in<\/span><\/span>vited!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Marko Zupan, <\/p>\n
\n<\/span>The fourth consecutive\u00a0<\/span>International Music Festival \u201cUrsus\u201d invites you again this summer to the wonderful atmosphere at the\u00a0Homestead Medved\u00a0at the foot of Mount Kum. C<\/span>lassical\u00a0melodies will echo in the surrounding hills, forests, meadows and pastures, where happy sheep can again enjoy the role of listeners after many centuries of suffering!
